This is a brand new replica of the Boucher banjo of the early 1800's. William Boucher applied a 'faux grain' to his banjos. We do the same on the 'Faux' model. All brass parts, ebony fittings, etc... are fashioned after Boucher's. We make many curly maple and plain maple necked Boucher versions, but also make this model, which most of his banjos actually looked like. Red hoop and all. It's not for everyone but if you're a Civil War reenactor or die hard minstrel banjo nut, this is the ONE. Please allow 3 weeks for delivery. The banjo you will recieve is NOT the banjo in the video but will look and sound just like it. You have the choice of a 'clean' head or a 'splotchy' head as in the video. Some people don't like the red tension hoop, that can be plain brass if you like.
