2010 Enoch “Dobson Model”
2010 Enoch “Dobson Model”. When you get to try this banjo, you will see why Kevin Enoch’s Dobson model banjos are always in demand. Precision workmanship, good looks, and oh, that sound! The neck on this example is walnut with a 25-1/2” scale, dot inlaid ebony fretboard. The peghead has a delicately engraved mother of pearl star inlay. The 12” diameter maple rim has a recreation of the revered Dobson Silver Bell tonering. This tonering design was patented November 8, 1881 by esteemed banjo performer Henry Dobson. Though Mr. Dobson’s design was intended for classic style playing, it turns out it also works well for clawhammer playing styles. All in all, this banjo is in very good condition. There are significant finish scratches on the back of the neck and the dowelstick, but nothing that would impede playability. With the original Enoch imprinted Levy’s gigbag, this banjo is $1,900.
