Why the Jubilee?
Most of the Jubilee is built around the clawhammer stroke. The S-curve scoop at the end of the fingerboard gives your striking hand room to work. The 12 inch maple tone rim with an ebonite cap and a Remo Renaissance head gives the full, warm voice clawhammer players look for, and the Sweetone tailpiece keeps the strings clear and balanced.

OME does not build Jubilees ahead for stock. Your banjo is built after you order it, then comes to our Yellow Springs shop, where Tara sets it up before it ships to you. Call Geoff for the current build time.
Is the OME Jubilee made in the USA?
Yes. OME builds the Jubilee in Titusville, Florida. OME was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1960 and is now part of Gold Tone Music Group.
