Chuck created his Cottonwood line to take advantage of the Dobson-style tone rings that first became available in 2008. We first saw an 11-inch pot in March and the 12-inch joined the line-up in August of that year.

List price is $2550 for the 11-inch and $2600 for the 12-inch , but this model is Out of Stock
A gigbag or a hardshell case is available, of course.

	This particular banjo is maple, with a light brown stain.			The "Texas" scooped ebony fingerboard has Chuck's distinctive offset abalone dot position markers..
	The peghead is simple, and has a classic MOP & abalone fleur de lis inlaid in its ebony headstock overlay.			As on all of Chuck's banjos, the tuners (including the 5th string tuner) are either PegHeds brand (shown) or Waverly brand 4:1 planetaries. (The dark spots are naturally occurring in the wood, and they took up a little more stain than the surrounding area.)
	The 2-ply, flamed maple pot has Chuck's proprietary, nickel-plated hardware.			It comes set up with a No-Knot tailpiece and a Renaissance brand head. A Dobson-style tone ring that provides a very mellow and rounded tone can be seen through that head. This is one great sounding old-time banjo!
