This is a modern replica (number 16) of a old HC Dobson 5 string frailing / clawhammer style banjo made in Denmark by Johannes Bonefaas. I am the original owner having him make it for me in 2003. It has a open back, dowel stick design, short scale length
(24.5 “) 11” head diameter, 1 1/4” neck width at the nut. It has a haired pig skin head over a Dobson donut style tone ring. It is referred to as a Ritchie Stearns model with the 5th string mounted at the 6th fret to facilitate playing in A tuning with fiddles, although it can also be played in all the other common old time tunings. It is in superb condition needing no repairs or set up and is ready to go. Comes with a properly sized hardshell case and custom made brass armrest.
Johannes has a two year + waiting list to make his banjos. There are less than a dozen of these in North America. Price is $3500 cash, no trades.
