📷 seedersinstruments ‘Quite the pleasure hand delivering #136, a 12" Dobson Special, to Oscar Isaac yesterday. Oscar is a really skilled musician and even though it's his first banjo within seconds he was already making music with it. He'll be using the banjo in an upcoming show next year at The Harvey Theater at BAM in Brooklyn, NY titled 'The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window' by Lorraine Hansberry. Can't wait to see and hear what he does with it! // #banjo #oscarisaac #clawhammerbanio #openbackbanio #oldtimebanio #luthier’

Seeders No. 037 is back in the shop for a little tune up. Always nice to see my previous work and see how it’s holding up. // #banjo #luthier #clawhammerbanjo #seedersinstruments #oldtimebanjo #engraving #handengraving #engraved (at Seeders Instruments) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmwAoHvlfF2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1obudruxl02te

Another one from the recent batch finished up. I love the way the dyed calfskin came out on this one. // #banjo #luthier #seedersinstruments #calfskin (at Seeders Instruments)

Allison De Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves was the perfect way to start Sunday morning @greenmountainbluegrass . Here they are playing Hobart Smith’s ‘Wabash Blues’. @allison_de_groot is playing my personal 12” Seeders Dobson Special banjo. // #gmbr #banjo #clawhammerbanjo #oldtimebanjo #seedersinstruments @dragonfiddler https://www.instagram.com/p/Bms5rTLFcqk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1frt3w4qxvyh6

Finally getting the chance to make some banjos with tunneled fifth strings. Always excited about taking on a new challenge. So far so good, can’t wait to see how they come out in the end. // #banjo #luthier #seedersinstruments #birdseyemaple (at Seeders Instruments)

Both of the tunneled fifth string banjos I’m completing in the next week have beautiful Quilted Cuban Mahogany peghead overlays. This is some really special and rare wood that was cut 50+ years ago. I was lucky enough to get a small slice from my friend @ruffalleybanjos // #banjo #luthier #cubanmahogany #woodworking #seedersinstruments (at Seeders Instruments)

Two Dobson Specials for @themusicemporium in progress with a new inlay theme. Not being a production shop it’s nice to have the flexibility to easily change things up when I want to keep things fresh. // #banjo #luthier #seedersinstruments #inlay (at Seeders Instruments)

Mahogany slope shoulder is a box! Now to put it aside for a bit and get some real work done....#seedersinstruments #guitar #luthier (at Seeders Instruments)

The bass is back together and playing again! Lower bout top and back seam repair and a new bridge fitted all within 3 hours. Over five days but only 3 hours work surprisingly. Not a valuable bass by any means but I always enjoy keeping instruments like this alive. Can never have too many upright basses around. #seedersinstruments #luthier #bassrepair #uprightbass (at Seeders Instruments)
