TME and Rickard Banjos have had a long and collaborative relationship.Their excellent craftsmanship, vintage-inspired tone, and unique, old-timey aesthetic makes their banjos a perfect fit for our store. This "Dobson" model features an upgraded walnut rim and neck, frailing scoop, antiqued brass hardware and a beautiful goat skin head. The Rickard Dobson delivers a wonderful, old-time cluckiness, and a fat note attack -- retained even when the banjo is played muted with a cloth inside the pot. Priced with Superior brand hard case.

The dulcijo is a combination of a wood top banjo and a mountain dulcimer. This beauty has a 21" scale and is tuned DAD. The top is spruce and the rim is walnut. The neck is mahogany and the accent wood is maple. It has a unique "dinnerplate" resonator of Koa. Easy to play all your bluegrass and county songs. I built this a couple years ago, but it is brand new, and has never left my shop.
Want to hear it? Go to Facebook and search for the "Mountain Dulcimer" group.
Then search for "Dulcijo"
From Cripple Creek Mandolins. There is no case, but will be well packed and has free shipping.

For those of us looking for truly authentic old-time tone, there's nothing quite like a fretless open-back - and this Pisgah Appalachian sits near the top of the heap among fretless options currently in production. With a warm, plucky tone perfectly suited for solo clawhammer, this banjo sports a distinct and unmistakable tonal character all its own, bolstered by way of its all-walnut construction and a rolled brass tone ring. As with all of Pisgah's instruments, the playability is excellent, with one of Patrick's legendary hand-milled necks that seems to have stepped right out of a bygone era. While cosmetics err towards the more tasteful side, we're big fans of the aged brass hardware, persimmon fingerboard, and the rustic finishing touches that lend this instrument some real old-time cred. Included in the price is a padded Pisgah gig bag, manufactured for the company by Access.

We're big fans of the authentic old-time tone you get from a banjo with a spunover rim, and few modern manufacturers are doing it anywhere near as well as our friends at Pisgah Banjo Company. This 11" Rambler Dobson Special features a copper rim rather than the more popular steel construction usually found on new five-strings, rolling off some of the banjo's high frequencies in exchange for a greater warmth and a more responsive low end. When paired with a brass Dobson-style tone ring and a walnut neck, even the most selective picker will be forced to admit that this is a clawhammer machine like few others. Included in the price is a Pisgah gig bag, manufactured for the company by Access.

While 11 and 12 inch pots are commonplace in the world of open-back banjos, 13s are still somewhat rare, making this Ute 13" Premium a must-have for our store. As one would expect, the larger multi-ply flamed maple pot gives this banjo impressive volume, bass, and sustain, and makes it a great fit both for those players looking for an especially loud open-back, as well as those who are simply looking for a new sound. As with all Utes, the 13" Premium is a beautiful, hand-built instrument with lots of rustic character and old-time cosmetic sensibilities, right down to minor appointments like the aged hardware and the hardwood armrest. Comes with a padded gig bag.

In the early 1960s, if you saw three or more people singing folk songs, the odds were really good that one of them would be playing a long-neck banjo. This banjo variant was thought up by Pete Seeger (he hired John D’Angelico to make his first one) and it became the signature instrument of the Urban Folk Revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s. This EB-188 was Epiphone’s entry in the long-neck sweepstakes and it was basically their version of the Gibson RB-180, back when Gibson was pretending they didn’t own Epiphone. If you're looking for a long-neck 5-string banjo with real power, this Epiphone EB-188 will certainly do the job. It has a no-hole flathead tone ring mounted on top of a brass hoop (that sits atop the wood shell) and it has a clear, ringing tone with loads of projection. It's in nearly perfect condition, despite being 60 years old. The only non-original parts we can see are the tuning machine, which are recent 4-to-1 planets, rather than the Grover Rotomatic guitar gears it was shipped with. The EB-188 is a very scarce model and not only have we never offered one for sale, we’re not 100% we’ve ever seen one in person. Comes with the original hardshell case, which has a Gibson badge, and its original hang tag.

Acoustic guitars, mandolins, and banjos are still the mainstays at Gryphon, as they have been for over 45 years, though our inventory of steel guitars and ukuleles continues to grow as well. In recent years an important part of our growth has been in instruments by very small companies and individual makers, as we continue to keep one foot, or at least several toes, outside the mainstream music industry.

The Madison RK-R35 gives banjo players a high-quality, great-sounding banjo with a classic Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring and one-piece flange.
The Recording King Madison RK-R35 is built around our 3-ply steam bent maple rim, using the same rim and hardware as in the best-selling RK-ELITE-75.
The maple neck has an adjustable two-way truss rod and a comfortable padauk fretboard. With a 24-hook brass tension hoop, players can enjoy precise adjustment of the head tension.
The planetary tuners, geared 5th peg and dual coordinator rods are pro components that add an authentic feel to these impressive banjos.
The Madison RK-R35 has a maple resonator with hand-rubbed brown matte finish. The peghead and fretboard feature our Seagull inlay, for a banjo that looks as classic as it sounds.
The Madison features American threaded nickel-plated hook and nut hardware, presto-style tailpiece and armrest, and comes standard with an authentic Remo head.

The noted qualities are powerful sound, light maple binding, engraved armrest and Fults tailpiece. This banjo is stable when playing shows and has the sound and power of my Stelling banjos. Here's the Bishline page... https://www.bishlinebanjos.com/wp/customs/wppaspec/oc1/lnen/cv0/ab5/pt25, but mine has engraved armreset and Fults 34 tail piece with the waverly like top.

Addition by subtraction is the name of the game with Ode's 11" Fretless Magician, which sees Boulder-based banjo luthier Zen Ogsbury turn his terrific Magician model into a nylon-string old-time powerhouse. The Magician combines a cherry neck with a maple pot for classic clawhammer tone bursting with clear trebles and a mellow midrange. As per usual, Mr Ogsbury has done some fine work on the fit and finish of this instrument, opting for old-school appointments and a rustic, classic look that still indicates a high level of craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. Colorado is lucky to have such great instruments built right here in the Front Range - every new Ode we get in our shop quickly becomes a favorite of every customer we hand it to. Included in the price is a padded Access gig bag.

A. A. Farland Concert Grand Model 5 String Banjo, c. 1915, made in New York City, natural varnish finish, laminated maple rim and neck, ebonized fingerboard, black tolex hard shell case.
A.A. Farland, celebrated banjo virtuoso of the late 19th and early 20th century, didn't care for those new-fangled tone rings banjo makers of his era were using on their high-grade instruments -- he thought they sounded "too tinny!" He also abhorred spun-over metal rims, like those on S.S. Stewart's banjos, for the same reason. Farland preferred a plain heavy wooden rim with no metal at all and so designed and patented his own banjos with no tone ring whatsoever -- just a thick laminated maple rim sloped away from the outer edge.
He called it the "A.A. Farland Beveled Top Wood Rim Banjo", putting a label inside to that effect with his picture in the center. As he was a teacher and performer he didn't actually build the instruments bearing his name, but assembled and finished them out and (he claimed) tested each one himself. Farland subcontracted his components from the best builders of the day; this example was made by New York's Rettberg and Lange, and shares some family traits with their Orpheum banjos.
This is not one of the very fanciest Farlands, but is a very professional grade and beautifully crafted instrument listed at $60 in Farland's 1910s catalog. The neck is 3-piece laminated maple with a carved heel, capped with an ebonized boxwood fingerboard inlaid with small pearl diamonds. The headstock is veneered with ebonized wood sporting a large pearl fleur-de-lys inlay. The rim is bird's eye maple painted dark on the bottom edge. The dowel has an "A.A. Farland Maker Plainfield N. J." label but sadly the Farland picture label is gone from the rim; only the glue spot remains..
Originally the banjo mounted Farland's elaborate mute assembly on the dowel with a string-and-turnbuckle connection to a small lever on the rim. This was removed long ago, as indeed most were. In practice it is rather inconvenient as it works in reverse to most such systems, being permanently engaged unless the lever is pressed to un-mute the instrument! The large center aperture in the dowel and a few small screw holes in the rim are the vestigial signs of this contraption.
Conceptually not unlike an S.S. Stewart "Special Thoroughbred", this banjo is intended for the serious player who is not interested in the flashy decoration common on better classic era century banjos. Farland's ideas were considered somewhat eccentric even at the time, and didn't ever catch on in a big way, but he did leave behind some elegant and distinctive banjos. The unique sound of the beveled top wooden rim gives the banjo a deeper mellow tone prized famously by John Hartford, among others. This is a lovely and nice playing example of Farland's legacy.
Overall length is 36 5/8 in. (93 cm.), 11 in. (27.9 cm.) diameter head, and 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 27 in. (686 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/16 in. (30 mm.).
This 110+ year old banjo shows general wear overall but remains in fine playing condition; set up with a modern Remo head and NylGut strings. The very thin varnish finish is worn overall but has a nice patina, the headstock face shows signs of the veneer having been repaired and polished out. All the hardware is original, including the hooks, nuts, tuners and an original No-Knot tailpiece. The original Farland turnbuckle-and-string mute device is missing and the hole in the dowel for it remains. The original frets and fingerboard show very little wear and this is an excellent playing and sounding Farland equipped with a modern HSC. Very Good + Condition.

Bob Carlin has taught hundreds of people to play Old Time banjo, so it's only logical to make his signature banjo specs available to new players by way of a Cripple Creek (CC) version. Undeniably a world-beating value in a twelve-inch clawhammer banjo, the CC-Carlin12 has all the right stuff: a nut width of 1 and 3/8", a two-way truss rod in the maple neck, scooped black-bound fretboard with dot inlays and a three-ply maple rim. Set up by Gold Tone's luthiers to play perfectly right out of the included gig bag, the CC-Carlin12 is an unbeatable buy.

This Dobson Professional is a new model from Pisgah and it has a 12-inch head and a short, 25.5"scale length. The banjo has a slotted headstock fitted with Gotoh tuning machines and it has a decorative laminated fretboard that accentuates the elegant curve of the S-scoop. This model has a maple shell fitted with a brass Dobson tone ring, a setup that produces a bit more punch and power than an all-wood rim that you’ll find on their Woodchucks and Possums. This banjo has a maple neck and shell and aged brass hardware. Includes a heavy duty, padded Pisgah gig bag.

Acoustic guitars, mandolins, and banjos are still the mainstays at Gryphon, as they have been for over 45 years, though our inventory of steel guitars and ukuleles continues to grow as well. In recent years an important part of our growth has been in instruments by very small companies and individual makers, as we continue to keep one foot, or at least several toes, outside the mainstream music industry.

Mike Ramsey 5 String Banjo, c. 1990, made in Lebanon, Ohio, serial # 77, shaded maple finish, laminated maple/mahogany rim, laminated mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, brown tolex hard shell case.
The late Mike Ramsey was one of the very best regarded of modern "vintage old time" banjo makers, and indisputably one of the most creative. He began building part-time in 1986, and in 1990 went into full time banjo production in Lebanon, Ohio. This is a very early example of his work with serial number 77 stamped (rather faintly) into the rim and dates to that period.
Ramsey moved around more than most makers; 1994 he relocated his shop to Appomattox, Virginia, and again in 2005 to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Around 2010 he made his final move to Pittsboro, NC. And passed away in 2021. Ramsey's banjos from all periods manifest more eccentricity than those of his nearest compatriot/competitor Bart Reiter, and if sometimes slightly less cleanly made are always interesting, worthy and inevitably great sounding instruments.
This early Custom model is built on a 12" rim with quite a thin ply wall for a modern banjo, a design rather unique to Ramsey. Topping that is a spun brass hoop tone ring in the "Little Wonder" style. The 25 1/2" scale neck is 3-piece mahogany with an ebony center strip and a rosewood heelcap. The dot-neck ebony fingerboard has a frailing scoop and a mixed-size dot and "Moon & Saturn" pearl inlay pattern. The headstock has a single engraved 4-point star inlay and geared Planet pegs. This early banjo is built with Gibson style coordinator rods instead of a traditional wooden dowel.
This banjo's design mates a shorter scale neck to the large head with a centrally mounted bridge so offers a darker, plunkier sound than many frailers while being fairly light and very easy to play. As Mike Ramsey sadly passed away recently, there will be no more of these made. Even this very early model is a delightful instrument, lovingly made with a very distinctive warm sound and a lot of charm.
Overall length is 37 3/4 in. (95.9 cm.), 12 in. (30.5 cm.) diameter head, and 2 3/4 in. (7 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 1/2 in. (648 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/16 in. (30 mm.).
This banjo shows only some fairly light wear and remains pretty much as Mike Ramsey built it over 30 or so years ago. The nickel plating has some noticeable tarnish (mostly to the hoop) and there is some very light finish wear. The original frets show some very light wear as well but nothing that affects play. It is set up with a Fiberskyn 2 head and a Moon bridge and is a lovely "modern Old Time" frailer, well seasoned and ready to gig in a solid HSC. Excellent - Condition.

FEATURING MIDNIGHT MAPLE FINGERBOARD AND VINTAGE ARTISAN INSPIRED INLAYS!
With a bluegrass resonator back for projection, the Artisan Goodtime Two banjo has a 3-ply violin grade maple rim and produces a bright and clear tone that projects well and is louder than its open back counterpart. The Artisan Two is enhanced with a rich brown stain, white detailing and spikes at 7, 9, and 10. The use of spikes enables you to expand your playing from the key of G to easily play in the keys of A, B, and C.
Here is a banjo you can have right there by your easy chair or take out an play in a jam. It holds its own as a bluegrass banjo for anyone looking for a lighter weight option and has the looks to boot! It's great for hours of practice with an accurate neck that is as comfortable as can be. You'll appreciate how light it is when you reach over to pick it up and enjoy playing it.
Most people who get a Goodtime banjo keep it because they love it even when they step up to their beautiful Deering banjo. The Goodtime banjo still maintains a special place in their life and this is why you don't see a lot of Goodtime banjos on the used market. It's a banjo you can take anywhere.
The stunning new Artisan Goodtime banjos embody Greg Deering’s lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company �" to make the best sounding, best playing, best looking, and best value U.S.A. made banjo that he possibly could. It is a never ending quest that Deering pursues every single day. So with improved tooling and a higher than normal dose of creativity, we bid farewell to our old friend the Classic Goodtime and welcome with open arms the stunning aesthetic of the new Artisan Goodtime Banjos.

The Orange Blossom (OB) banjos harken back to Gold Tone's early days and their popularity hasn't diminished over the decades. These professional-grade banjos evoke the great pre-WW ll banjos played by the Masters: Earl Scruggs, Don Reno, J.D. Crow all depended on those great banjos from the Midwest USA to power their sound. The OB-250 has everything needed to produce THAT tone: a sand-cast bell brass flathead tone ring, a cast one-piece resonator flange circling a multi-ply maple rim with twin coordinator rods and an extra-deep curly maple multi-ply resonator for better low-end response. The curly maple neck has a bound ebony fretboard with hearts & flowers inlay. The bracket hooks even have metric threading to enable finer tension adjustment. The price includes a hard shell case.
