Perhaps the finest banjo of its type the SHERRY LYNN ebony banjo , I built it for David Emery in 2007. When David picked up this banjo it was all I could do to not reach out and say "No you can't have this one!" Even now although I am no longer carrying it with me to perform with on the riverboat, I am having the hardest time clicking on the 'post this add' button. This one is so very special, so elegant with a big, big voice.
Please note this is an instrument that has been played professionally on riverboats for the past couple of years and so exhibits normal wear including minor scratching, dings and finish wear. Additional photos are available upon request.
