Manufacturing

    Through the Banjo Factory, we seek to produce an affordable common style banjo typical of the mid-nineteenth century. 
   
    We also manufacture early 19th Century style eppinettes.  (A 17th and  early 18th Century ancestor to the lap top dulcimer.)

Retailing

    Beyond the products we produce, we distribute  a few select products  from other manufacturers whose products compliment our other lines of business.


Our sister site:

The Banjo Factory

    The Banjo Factory  was created as a sister site to There was a time... to handle our musical products.
