Arcand banjos
Hand made banjos in the Appalachian hills of Quebec.
Hi everyone.
My banjos are made of North American hard maple, black cherry, white oak and black walnut.
I also use exotic woods for fingerboard and other components and I like to explore.
The high quality of the chosen pieces of wood and the way the wood is dried makes every Arcand banjo a unique and high quality instrument.
Some of the hardware parts including tension hoop, bracket shoes, rolled brass tone rings, flesh hoops and tailpieces are handkmade by me .
To order a banjo from the list below or to order a custom made banjo please write at; sebca_enr@hotmail.com or call at 819-826-2544
Thank you for choosing a Arcand banjo
