Hey Y'all, Happy New Year!

I have not closed Renan Banjos for good but I will say that I am currently not building banjos as I have been working full time in the cycling industry for the last 3 years now.

Feel free to send me messages or just ot reach out but I will not be accepting new banjo orders. Will accept or entertain Repairs on a case by case basis. Again my time is limited. Thanks again for supporting me on this journey, building banjos and meeting folks far and wide in this industry is and always will be a highlight of my life. So Thank you for your support, whether you were a fan or bought an instrument!

Many thanks,

Tyler Burke

Taking a break 11/23/23

Hey Renan Fans,

Not hanging up the hat just yet but taking a much needed break from full-time banjo building.

I have switched gears and have moved over to the Micromobility industry (e-bikes) where my fabrication & managerial skills have been useful. I've found that getting everyday folks on e-bikes to be as rewarding as building instruments that create joy. From the bottom of my heart, I am ever grateful for your support whether from the sidelines or if you purchased an instrument from me. The last 8 years have been jam-packed with precious moments, great music, adventures-for banjo's sake, incredibly warm people young & old and endless creative expression. Things that warm my heart.

I am ever humbled by this craft, Renan Banjos was an experiment to push my 'creativity into the stratosphere'. I'm not sure I ever reached that high, but maybe I'll come back to it, chapter deux?

I have much to say.

And much to do.

Take care,

Tyler
