5 String Banjo Information:

Welcome to the Bluestem Banjo pages!

Here you will find lots of free information related to 5 string banjo construction, setup, and other items of interest relating to banjo.

You can also find ordering information for my complete guide to open back banjo construction. The building guide package includes a full size construction drawing, more than 630 photographs of the construction process, shop video clips, and other related information. I can't provide the entire building guide here due to the high cost of my server access and bandwidth necessary for transferring that much data. The proceeds from selling the guide helps to defray the cost of providing the 75 megabytes daily average of information that this site provides free of charge, without pop-ups or other commercial intrusions.

Please select from the links above for further information. Thanks for stopping by!
