Handmade in North Carolina, USA the Rambler Special is similar to the Rambler Dobson but with a few upgrades.  This banjo is available with an aged brass or copper rim. The softer metals give this banjo a little warmer tone while maintaining sustain and projection.  Another upgrade to this banjo is the Pisgah Hawktail tailpiece. This allows for more downward pressure on the bridge so that there is better clarity on each note. All hardware made in USA by Pisgah.

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

Choose your overall build options from Walnut or Cherry and also choose an Aged Copper or Aged Brass rim.

Supplied with quality padded Gig Bag.
