Banjo Hardware Shop
In this section you will find some of the hardware that I make and use on my banjos. I’m definitely not a one stop shop for banjo hardware, but I do offer banjo parts that are high quality, unique and handmade. Please note that my hooks and nuts are threaded 8-32 and will not fit other makers’ hardware except Lyon and Healy banjos. The nuts will also work on new Ode banjo hooks.
Please click on each item for more details.
