The roasted banjo sounds sweet.. I wonder if it has the NEW Roasted Factory Floor Bridge on it?   I tried that bridge and it brings tonal qualities that makes banjo really fun  to play!  Good post Glenn! Who would if thunk it.....that Roasting brings out some pop and clarity!

Thought you guts might like to see how a roasted maple rim compares to a standard rim before turning.  There is no stain on the roasted rim.

 

Thanks, Eric

I'm very impressed with the roasted maple banjo. I cant wait to get my hands on the proto type again so i can make a even better recording of it. It has to be the loudest banjo i have ever played.

 I have known the Sullivan family since i was in my pre teen years. Over the years I have watched them study and master the art of making banjos. I feel honored to see the knowledge and craftsmanship meld into a  point of perfection. I drop by daily now to see the awakening of a giant in the banjo building industry. Jeff and Eric are what America is all about. Honest and open. You feel like you at home when visit first quality.They work endlessly day and night to make great banjos. I bet my last dollar Eric dreams of banjos when he sleeps. Many years ago when the Sullivan banjos first came out i was impressed but I could tell they had not yet reached their potential. Some where in the 90s they started getting better than the Gibson master tone banjos. Now in the 2000s they have the greatest banjos on the market. I feel the future is wide open for them. One day I will own many Sullivan banjos.

Thanks Eric and Jeff for letting me hang out.

I agree, Eric is the most helpful banjo maker Ive talked to and just a nice guy period. There are lots of others to like Hatfield, Grich and Yates...all very helpful to me.
