Early in 2003, the idea for the Sullivan Festival banjo was born. The challenge was to build a very desirable instrument to extremely high professional standards, which would be very affordable. A power packed banjo with the best components. A high quality professional instrument with just a bit less decoration but with the same punch and power of its more ornate counterparts. A banjo that would serve for many years and always stands tall in any bluegrass situation.

The same hands that build our famous Greenbrier, Radcliff and Bardstown models, create the Sullivan Festival banjo. The neck is maple and is professionally hand shaped and finished by skilled craftsmen who have taken perfection to another level. This dedication is appreciated by beginning students and the professional player as well.

"It's a great instrument and I most 
  likely will play this one for a while.
 I think you have a winner on your 
  hands."
