Ken LeVan/Kyle Landers 11" Open-Back Banjo

One of the most unique banjos on our wall, this amazing open back boasts a 11" Walnut Ken LeVan pot and a locally made neck from our friend Kyle Landers. It's also includes one of Kyle's amazing mutes, visible in the pictures of the back of the pot.

This instrument sounds amazing,  with just the right amount of "cluck" yet full of warmth from the walnut pot and hide head. 

Superior hard case included.
