It's been more than a few years since we've had banjos from Maine-based luthier, Matthew Arcara, in stock; and the new instruments we're happy to have demonstrate Matt's evolving skill as a builder. This instrument, a 12" banjo featuring a Dobson tone ring and all-Walnut construction, is powerful, clear, and midrange forward (think of an almost dreadnought-guitar quality on the lower strings). It's punchy and responsive no matter what your style, with the well-defined, thick sound that remains clear in an old-time stringband. A great-sounding banjo for the player in search of something new ~ and yes, it's as handsome as it looks in our photos! Priced with hard case.
