Banjo Studio is proud to be an authorized Rickard Banjo dealer. You are viewing the actual banjo that you'll be purchasing.
The Custom Rickard 11" Walnut Little Wonder takes the Cherry Little Wonder and swaps in a warm, dark walnut neck and a 1/2" walnut rim with Rickard's in-house made 11" Little Wonder tone ring. The result is a focused, woody voice with a little extra depth from the walnut, a crisp note that cuts through a jam without sounding harsh, and a dark dyed goat skin head for that classic old-time plunk and sustain.
