Just fantastic. When I needed a setup, the brothers took great care of my new banjo, fitted it with a new bridge and action, and made further adjustments on the spot until I was comfortable with how it fit my playing style. Dave Chuffed

I have had the pleasure of knowing Peter and Leon since they began setting up, repairing and making banjos, They fulfil a "niche" market, making others banjos sound and play better and are prepared to experiment with different designs and materials to do this. I had an unfinished Asian neck sitting around and asked them to make a hickory rim to go with this. Combined with a White Ladye tone ring the banjo I now have is a beauty. The sound is rich and "punchy" with a stronger bass response than is normal for an eleven inch pot. Leon added some superb inlays to the headstock and Peter's colouring & finishing off of the neck and laquer made this rather plain mahogany and rosewood neck look just like an oldtimey neck should. The boys stayed in touch toward the final stages to set up the banjo to achieve the playability and sound I liked without any hesitation at all. Different bridges, neck adjustments, tailpiece and even a new nut were all used to achieve a banjo we were all happy with. Bill Rollins Clawhammer player from Melbourne

The descision to send your instrument out of the state for modification is not one you undertake lightly. Infact before I opted to send my banjo I was in txt coms with Leon for about 2 months. The design for my rim was created on white board in banjohangouts chat room, this enabled us to work in colaboration to produce a design that was workable and as close to my requirements as possible. I was given constant live video updates on the build progress and this made it possible to actualy change my mind about one of the details on the fly. I decided that I didnt like the light and dark layers of maple and oz ironwood and requested it be stained to match the ironwood (which pretty much matches the neck) Leon & peter go to great lenghts to ensure customer satisfaction. I wish the boys all the best with their new line of banjos. If they use the love poured into my conversion they cannot fail. Tim Morgan Happy Conversion Customer

I approached Banjobrothers to discuss building me a banjo from a few parts I already owned. They built me an American hard rock maple block rim for a tube & plate setup to suit my tonering and neck. They also supplied all the hardware and resonator. The finished product was a well setup and good sounding banjo. I think the Mcpeak tonering sounded as good as it could. I recently got to play the new Eureka model which I was very impressed with and liked the Gibson like sound. As I could not afford a new banjo I asked if they could fit the Eureka tonering into my banjo. Within 2 hours they stripped my banjo and machined my rim to perfectly fit the new Huber vintage tonering into my banjo while I waited.. I was amazed the banjo transformed from good to excellent !. it had more of that Gibson sound I like. It plays clean and has good snap and volume. Its very alive without having to play hard. If you see Uncle Bill play you will hear this great banjo. John Gray Banjo player from Uncle Bill & happy customer.
