The Dogwood Banjo

I am the joyful owner of a new banjo  handmade by a banjo builder located in Minnesota and designed for the clawhammer way of mind. The banjo's name is the dogwood and she plays as beautiful as the flowering tree looks in the spring. I found her online and from there, without even having to introduce myself, I knew it was the banjo of my dreams. 

It is always a bit nerve racking to purchase delicate goods on the internet, especially musical instruments, they are such a personal investment and what plays beautifully for one may not play beautifully for another. Many visits to the guitar store have proven this to be true, somebody picks up a guitar and it sounds so sweet, then I pick up the same guitar and it feels like I am grating cheese. When you find the right instrument for you, it's kind of like falling in love, you can't quite explain why you love it so, you just know it and the feeling is wonderful.

I love my dogwood banjo. I love the fretboard. I love the 12 inch pot. It is like having feathers for flight  I feel like I can sing and play my way through anything in this world. If you'd like to see more banjos and support somebody who labours and loves to build musical instruments by hand, visit Dogwood banjos or like the Dogwood banjo Facebook page

  3. Aw, you look beautifully dreamy in these photos. Is the banjo a new instrument to you, or do you know how to play already? I have a banjo too actually, though I'm a terrible player. It's a family heirloom, so I love it to bits, but don't quite have the talent it deserves.

Because I was an actual NDE on the outskirts of the Great Beyond at 15 yet wasn’t allowed in, lemme share with you what I actually know Seventh-Heaven’s Big-Bang’s gonna be like: meet this advanced, bombastic, ex-mortal Upstairs for the most extra-groovy-paradox, pleasure-beyond-measure, Ultra-Yummy-Reality-Addiction in the Great Beyond for a BIG-ol, kick-ass, party-hardy, robust-N-risqué-passion you DO NOT wanna miss the sink-your-teeth-in-the-smmmokin’-hot-deal.

  23. A classic orange jacket with a certain elegance that can boost any clothing is one of our favourite comebacks from The Orville S03 Ensign Charly Burke Orange Jacket 1970s fashion. While these orange jackets were usually used for labour, you may update the hem by wearing big utilitarian styles or short ones to rapidly parade in them at informal occasions.

  35. Dogwood banjos are designed specifically for the clawhammer style of playing. With their unique design, Dogwood banjos provide a powerful and distinctive sound that is perfect for traditional bluegrass and old-time music. The banjo's neck is designed to be comfortable in the hand, while its resonator helps to project the sound out into the room. With their distinct tone, Dogwood banjos are perfect for any musician looking to master the clawhammer style of playing.
