I was fortunate to get one of EVD’s original banjolas, based on the Pollmann banjo of the 1890’s. I played it for several years and decided to have Edward replace the standard neck with a “long neck” as in the 1958 Vega Pete Seeger banjo. Now I play the world’s first “long neck banjola”, and it sounds spectacular, due to the string tension being less than that of a standard length instrument. My banjola has a mellow, warm and woody sound, with plenty of sustain, it is simply a musical work of art!!!
