My name is Zach Hoyt and I build banjos and other stringed instruments. I live in Piercefield NY, in the northern Adirondacks. I always have some ready-made instruments in stock and I am happy to do custom work. On each page from the menu above you will see listings of currently available and sold in-stock instruments. I have been posting pictures and a brief description of each custom instrument I have built since 2018, they can all be found in the archives on the Shop News page if you’re interested.
