As you well know, the team here at Maple Leaf Music makes it our business to find the cream of the crop of anything with strings and frets. We look tirelessly, day-and-night for the best fretted instruments in all of North America to bring back home to southern Vermont. During our latest expedition in search of a great new banjo maker to bring aboard, we came upon the beautiful creations of Cedar Mountain Banjos from Brevard, North Carolina.

Cedar Mountain’s banjos have an elegance to them that permeates the instrument, from the fantastic old-time tone to luthier Tim Gardner’s sublime finish work. CMB also has an excellent range of models, and they can please the player looking for the most deluxe instrument with highly figured woods to the musician hoping for a locally-sourced, simply styled, mountain music hos’.
In the next week or two, we’ll be getting in three of these great banjos, so come in, give ‘em a pick and make ‘em feel welcome here up north!
