New Kel Kroydon preview

Tom Mirisola sent along a couple of photos of his latest Kel Kroydon banjo, a maple version of the KK-10, his American Made Banjo. The banjos are built by respected banjo maker Robin Smith in Nashville, and are available from Elderly Instruments, Heartland Banjo or Rich Stillman.

Tom mentioned that he will have this first maple KK-10 with him and on display at Banjo Camp North, which starts today in Boston. He’ll also have his new cryogenically-treated Kel Kroydon banjo strings, which will be available on the KK web site by mid-June.
