Bill Evans Signature Banjo

The Bill Evans Signature Series 5 String Kel Kroydon^® Banjo was developed for Bill's personal use. Bill's banjo combines the set-up knowledge and impeccable craftsmanship of our luthiers along with the 20 Hole Dannick Tone Ring developed by Tom Mirisola. American Made Banjo Company is delighted to offer copies of Bill's banjo for sale.

Bill says:
"I love the classic tone of a maple and gold banjo. My new Bill Evans signature Kel Kroydon banjo comes as close as anything I've heard to capturing THE sound. It's also extremely playable - it works for both hard driving traditional bluegrass and contemporary styles. This is something that's extremely rare in any instrument, new or old. It's what I've been waiting for all my life!"
