Crafters of Tennessee banjos were built one at a time by Mark Taylor, son of Tut Taylor, in a small Tennessee shop that closed around 2012.

It is in excellent condition for its age, all original except the tailpiece, and our banjo tech Tara has it set up and ready to play. It comes with a hardshell case and ships free anywhere in the United States.
