Arcand banjos

                                                                                                     Hand made banjos in the Appalachian hills of Quebec.  

Hi everyone. 

My banjos are made of North American hard maple, black cherry, white oak and black walnut.

I also use exotic woods for fingerboard and other components and I like to explore.

The high quality of the chosen pieces of wood  and  the way the wood is dried makes every Arcand banjo a unique and high quality instrument.

Some of the hardware parts including tension hoop, bracket shoes, rolled brass tone rings, flesh hoops and tailpieces are handkmade by me .  

To order a banjo  from the list below or to order a custom made banjo please write  at;    sebca_enr@hotmail.com    or call at 819-826-2544
