Nedski
We created the Nedski banjo in collaboration with the great American banjo player Ned Luberecki. The banjo has the same inlays as the President model, but has a slightly wider radiused fingerboard (12"), beautiful more flame maple on the neck and resonator, and a mother-of-pearl bell cover. It has a rich inlay of natural mother-of-pearl on both the fingerboard and the headstock, which is framed with a white line.
Ned Luberecki was named the 2018 IBMA Banjo Player of the Year. He is a member of the Becky Buller Band. He has several programs on Sirius XM radio's bluegrass channel and teaches banjo.
He has been a member of the Chris Jones & Nightdrivers band for over 10 years, while performing as a guest on many recordings and tours (Larry Cordle & Lonesome Standard Time, second banjo with Tony Trischka - Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular) for over 30 years. He often plays in duos with Becky Buller (All the Banjos Duo) or with Stephen Mougin (The Sam Bush Band) as Nedski & Mojo.
