Bart Reiter
Hand made open back banjos from Michigan. Bart started as a repairman and began to copy the classic Vega open back banjos. He now has a full line of models. His banjos are very popular on the old time circuit. Great craftsmanship and tone. Our favorite is the Whyte Laydie.

Enoch
Kevin Enoch is well known for his high end inlay work, but is growing a reputation for his Dobson inspired open back banjos. These banjos are the ultimate in simplicity, and feature the tone that an old time banjo should have. Steel string and nylon available, in fretted and fretless. The fretless nylon string has the most haunting tone!

Ome
Our friend Chuck Ogsbury has been making Ome banjos (formally Ode) in Colorado since the '60s. His continual quest for tone has resulted in some of the best banjos we have ever seen or heard here at the store. Both open back and bluegrass models are available.
