This Huber VRB 3 Banjo was manufactured in 2016 at their factory in Nashville and has the same features if you bought a new one today from Steve: an engineered rim, a Huber HR-30 tone ring, and a mahogany neck and resonator. The Huber VRBs sound closer to a Gibson prewar banjo than anything else on the market today. Huber banjos are on backorder because of a tornado that hit their factory over the summer. Fortunately, they are back in business, but it may be a while before you can get a new Huber VRB 3 from the factory.
Condition: One of my students, who owned several banjos in his collection, owned this VRB 3, so it’s rarely been played. It has virtually no fret wear. There are a few minor scratches on the back of the resonator and a small mark on the back of the neck, probably caused by a wedding ring.
This banjo will be set up and fine-tuned by the professionally trained staff at The Banjo Warehouse before it is shipped out.

Geoff Hohwald has been playing banjo since the 1960’s. He became active in the thriving bluegrass community in Ohio as a teenager while studying at Ohio State University. He has played professionally as a guitarist and banjo player with several bluegrass bands ever since. Geoff moved to Atlanta after college and co-founded the Watch and Learn publishing company. They now publish a full line of musical instrument instruction books and digital modules. He also owned several music stores in Atlanta from the 1980s through the mid-2000s and is still an active participant in the musical instrument re-sale community in the southeast.
Banjo Warehouse is a family business resulting from 50 years of experience in music and 40 years of experience in musical instrument retail sales and education. Our focus is on the 5-string flathead banjo, but we also occasionally have a good selection of guitars and mandolins (and other folk instruments).
