Handmade in North Carolina USA, the Dobson Professional features a slotted headstock design and is available in stained curly maple. This model is perfect for those looking for a lighter weight banjo with good sustain and projection.  Pisgahs Dobson tone ring, modeled after the original 1881 patent, is bell shaped and gives the banjo good sustain and resonance while only adding 9 ounces to the total weight.  The Dobson Professional is very responsive, making it a joy to play!

Pisgah build banjos with a firm eye on sustainability and use 100% native Appalachian tonewoods. 

Supplied with quality padded Gig Bag.
