The Booker banjo is the distillation of nine years of a 'one-of-kind' conquest. 

​

The Booker banjo is optimized around the distinct tonal spectrum of the Whyte Laydie Brass Tone ring~ offering the clearest electric-like acoustic amplification of the banjo sonic range. I prefer the W.L. for it’s mid-range tone; not too bassy and not too twangy, right in the middle. It cuts the silence performed solo and calls attention within the band. Just the right amount of boom & haunting sustain. 

​

Each Renan Banjo is made to order and each is built utilizing the finest hardware, select hardwoods and passion for excellence in handcraft. 

​

Renan Ethos has always been about exacting supreme tone, exacting expertise in woodcraft & exacting lasting beauty.

​

I've picked the best hits from countless hours of research & development, from trial & error and a try-anything approach. The details add up.
