Fitch Banjos were built in the Fort Worth, Texas area from 1995 to 2009, when Cliff Fitch retired. During that time, he built 85 5-string banjos, primarily in the Gibson Master Tone style. He sold his last completed banjo in 2010 after the official closing of his shop.
Cliff Fitch had a number of interests, was a licenced funeral director and operated a mortuary transport company. Playing bluegrass since the age of 15, he was a founding member of the board of directors of the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation.
