Cedar Mountain Banjos

The Cedar Mountain Banjo is a twenty-first century instrument with its roots in a long tradition of the finest materials and master craftsmanship.

Tim and I enjoy the process, always building with an eye for graceful design, an ear for exciting sounds, and a feel for friendly playability.

Cedar Mountain Banjos are being played by some of the finest professional musicians, but are priced well within the reach of most advancing players, and even beginners who wish to start out with a great instrument

Why a Cedar Mountain Banjo?

Sound. The CMB is full and rich through the entire register. It is never 'tinny' or 'thin' when played softly, or 'crashy' when played loudly.

Handmade. CMB are handcrafted in the mountains of North Carolina in an environment of tradition and innovation.
Experience. Since founding Cedar Mountain Banjos in 1996 we have built nearly 500 banjos for happy customers all over the globe.


"I think of Lo every night after dinner, as I play my banjo. In an era when the public's eye for aesthetics has been all but lost, Lo's banjos are artistically designed, beautifully scaled, and well proportioned, have a beautiful sound, and are a pleasure to play. I decided to buy a good banjo and wanted a new one that had a good sound, the work of a craftsman in the old sense of the word, so that someday it would be valued and passed down to my kids or grandchildren. I am not disappointed."
