2012 Bishline Clermont Banjo

Bishline Clermont Banjo 2012 full front view

Comments	Rob Bishline builds top-quality banjos out of his shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. His instruments get top ratings in reviews – when there’s a number less than 9 or 10, it’s usually relating to a setup performed by a 3rd party. These are really, really good banjos. This 2012 Bishline Clermont Banjo is in excellent condition – it would be hard for it to be cleaner – and is just a beautiful instrument. Loud, sweet yet clear and bright. The heavy figuring of the neck and resonator maple combines with the shaded, tinted finish for a spectactular effect. Check out the Bishline web page on the Clermont! Here’s a fun clip from Bishline of a custom Clermont in action.
