About The Maker

 

“Full, rich sound. I have been playing a bunch of fretless lately and this tackhead is perfect for achieving a deep, expressive sound that fills a room”                                                        “Highly recommended, great price, truly beautiful sound, easy playability - I really like this banjo!”

“I had an old Dobson banjo with a very warped neck but the pot was very sweet. I really needed a good neck for it, so I contacted Nate and he made me a beautiful Walnut neck. The neck has a very nice feel and I swear the banjo sounds 1,000 times better than before. Calkins was very careful and attentive to the work he did and I am very pleased. Thanks Nate!!!”
