Description
R.A. Sanders was a banjo builder operating in Britain in the late 1800’s. His banjos are very rare although a few seem to have survived and made the trip to North America.
This is one of a style called a Zither banjo which was popular in Britain at that time. It is characterized by the neck attaching to a resonator and then the skin headed pot is suspended within. This six string banjo features a fretless walnut “Dobson” style neck and english oak resonator and pot.
This banjo was loaned to me for the purposes of documenting it for these plans.
This is a highly detailed one sheet set of plans.
