This 2005 Huber Roanoke TrueTone 5-String banjo is in very good, clean condition and features Black Walnut construction with a Maple rim and Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. It also has a capo tacks, Snuffy Smith bridge and two Keith D-Tuners. We seldom see these top quality, hand built Huber Roanoke banjos for sale.
Steve Huber
Here we have a striking Huber Lancaster 5-String Banjo -a spectacular tonal recreation of pre-WWII Mastertone banjos, ideally suited for hard-driving bluegrass. The Lancaster is not visually elaborate, but brings all the sound and playability of a professional grade instrument. This fine banjo is in very good condition, with no appreciable wear or damage. The original hard shell case is included.

MORE →The Huber tone ring is an exact replica of the great “pre war” rings that were used in the classic flathead banjos of the 1930’s. Not close, not similar… an exact replica! Steve has duplicated the alloy and the hardness of the metal, producing a ring with the same sonic qualities that are found in the rings of vintage banjos selling for ten times the cost of a new Huber.

For this reason, it is all the more noteworthy that in the several months since its release, praise for the Huber Vintage Flathead ring has been unanimously enthusiastic. While many of us know Steve as a formidable bluegrass banjo player with an innovative traditional bent, his destiny as a tone ring developer par excellence now seems almost inevitable.
