Appearance


The All American is a simple no frills banjo without all the fancy inlay and bindings. Bernie's inlay work is fantastic and custom inlay is not a problem.
Bernie searches New England to find the finest maple for his banjos.He makes all of his own necks,pots and rims .
Each banjo is built one at a time with explicit attention to detail. Check out their website at www.geocities.com/caouttebanjos You won't be sorry.

Overall Comments


I would highly recommend this banjo maker to anyone.Give Bernie a shout and he and his lovely wife Julie will sit down with you and discuss your banjo in great detail. These two will make you feel right at home.They are Bluegrass people,that's what they do. SomeCaouette players that I know of are:
Jake Jenkins -Karl Shifllet Band
Abe Spears - King Wilkie Band
Gary Skillings - Marcey Hill Band
Charlie Reese - Cow Tippers
