#898- Curly Cherry and Pistachio Five String Banjo

I think Cherry is a great banjo wood, confidently placed between Walnut and Maple. Plenty loud, but a little sweet, with a growl to the low string. This one has a goat skin head, brass tone ring, arm rest, Pistachio trim and a little sprout inlay on the headstock. The Cherry comes from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland and the Pistachio comes from California orchards.
