WE WANT TO BUY BANJO UKULELES-- Click HERE

STOLEN BANJO ALERT: On Monday (26 September 2005) my builder shipped me three of the new Turtle Hill Woody bluegrass banjos. On Wednesday three boxes arrived; two of them contained banjos, but the third one had been opened and the contents removed. We must assume that a UPS employee took the banjo and retaped the box. The banjo is mahogany, and is similar to the mahogany Turtle Hill Woody banjo pictured on my web site, except it has a one piece flange construction. The serial number 0517 is stamped on the inside of the rim. If you see this banjo, or hear of it, please advise me by emailing dave@turtlehillbanjo.com

A Trip to Stelling Banjo

A visit with Tony Ellis

Turtle Hill Banjo Company is a very unusual shop. Although we maintain a good inventory of new and used banjos, we do very little with any other type of instrument.

New Banjos
We are authorized dealers for Stelling, Desert Rose, Deering, Bart Reiter, Wildwood, Ome, Crafters of Tennessee, Huss and Dalton, Gold Tone, and Nechville banjos. With most models in stock, you won’t have to wait months for your instrument to be built. Along with very competitive prices we offer friendly, knowledgeable, and personal service before and after the sale -- just ask anyone who has ever purchased a banjo from us!

Used Banjos
Our inventory of used banjos constantly changes, and ranges from prewar Gibsons to nearly new instruments.

We Buy Banjos
If you have a banjo for sale, please give us a call. We are always interested in buying, and pay well for anything we can use. Click HERE to learn more about how to identify your Gibson banjo.

Accessories
We stock banjo accessories such as strings, capos, bridges, tuners, picks, straps, cases and a large selection of instructional books and videos, all at discounted prices.

Location and Hours
Turtle Hill Banjo Company is located in southern Maryland, about 30 minutes outside the Washington, D.C. beltway (I-495). We are about an hour from northern Virginia and a little more than an hour from Baltimore. We offer prompt shipment of instruments and accessories for those out of the area. Our hours are by appointment; we are open most days and evenings.
