$ 1,494.99

This longneck openback RB-175 Gibson banjo is from the late 1960s or early 1970s. It has three extra frets which allow banjoists and singers to play in open E.

$ 1,299.99

One of only a few hundred GTR banjos ever made, built by the Iida factory in Japan between 1974 and 1978 for George Gruhn, Tut Taylor, and Randy Wood. Every GTR left the factory in dark mahogany, and George Gruhn confirmed to us that the lacquer on this one was removed after production, making it the only natural-finish GTR we have seen. Flathead tone ring, two-piece flange, Hearts and Flowers inlay, and a matte finish that throws no glare under stage lights. Watch the video to hear it.

$ 10,999.99

Rare 1987 Stelling One-Bird Virginian from the original Philadelphia owner. Gold-plated and heavily hand-engraved with the proprietary Stelling tone ring, mother-of-pearl Cardinal peghead inlay, and walnut neck and resonator. Gold plating refreshed in April 2026 by Huber Banjos. Serial 3149. Original case and paperwork included.

$ 599.00

“The treasure to the Warehouse is Geoff Hohwald, himself. He knows so much about banjos: how they are made; what makes them sound good; and how to learn to play. His many years of experience translates to an expert willing to help even the beginner master this most unique of instruments.”

“I have purchased two banjos from Geoff — a Greg Rich era RB-3 and a ’65 RB-800. Both are great banjos. I’ve also sold Geoff a Stelling Staghorn. He is great to deal with, very honest. Everything was as expected and as promised. 10 Stars.”

A Family-Run Banjo Shop Since 1980

Banjo Warehouse is run by Geoff Hohwald, who has been playing and selling banjos since 1963. He’s also the author of The Banjo Primer (200,000+ copies sold). We carry everything from beginner instruments to vintage and prewar banjos, and banjos shipped from our shop are set up by our banjo tech Tara, who trained at the Huber Banjo factory. We’re a small team that knows banjos, not a warehouse full of boxes.
