Part folk tradition, part modern art--each Smoky Mountain Bullet Banjo is a handcrafted one-string wonder inspired by the roots of American blues.

Based on the Diddley Bow, a traditional homemade instrument from the Deep South, our Bullet Banjos fuse music history with Smoky Mountain soul.

We take luxury, sustainable cigar boxes and turn them into slide-played, steeel string banjos with a sound all their own. Each banjo features:

• a 27-32 inch neck, custome-stained or burnt for character
• A single steel guitar string tuned for slide blues
• Precision-placed sound holes for rich resonance
• A tuning knob for easy pitch control
• A hollow body that opens to store your glass slide and pick--ready to go where the music takes you

One String...None the Same!

Whether you're a front-porch picker, roots musician, or just love the unusual, a Smoky Mountain Bullet Banjo is more than an instrument--it's a story you can play.
