To call this Pete Ross banjo the current staff favorite in its niche would be an understatement. This is one of the most beautifully made banjos we've seen in recent memory. Period. Elegance of craft aside, it sounds wide open and warm, and exhibits the kind of playability and responsiveness that's nearly impossible to come by in a new instrument. The condition is near mint (truthfully, it's barely been played). Simply a gorgeous banjo, with tonal sophistication and craftsmanship that'll please the most discerning player. With Brown Superior bump-style case.
