UTE Banjos are basic, no-frills instruments that are designed to capture the spirit and flavor of the late 19th and early 20th century banjos. In order to balance quality and cost, these banjos are made with imported necks and US sourced rims; each instrument is assembled and set-up by Chuck Ogsbury in the OME shop in Boulder, Colorado, and comes complete with a heavily padded Access Gig bag. These instruments give maximum tone, response, and playability for an affordable price. Sold directly through this website, and by UTE Dealers.
