I'll be taking a break for a few weeks before starting the next batch of banjo commissions, I have several jobs around the house to get done, and since my hourly wage building banjos is probably less than half what a crap tradesman charges, it makes more sense for me to do the jobs myself!
This banjo could be the last to be completed this year, but I have some pretty cool commissions coming up, which you'll be able to follow the progress of here:  www.instagram.com/ballardbanjers/?hl=en
Delivery estimate on any new orders is currently around June 2022, give me a shout if you're interested in commissioning something.

Finished these two banjos this week, both are available to buy, please use the 'contact' page for enquiries. Full specs and prices are on the '...in stock' page.
