J. Romero Banjos is a small family company on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, just north of Victoria.

As a builder, long-time player, and enthusiast of all things banjo, I am always thinking of the banjo's design and sound. After studying as a cabinetmaker and fine woodworker, I began working with the Wildwood Banjo Co. in Arcata, CA., as well as P.W. Crump Instruments and Clinesmith Guitars. Working in these shops and building a variety of instuments rounded out my experience as a luthier and developed a strong sense of instrument craftsmanship, techniques and skills.

Each of our banjos is handmade and unique, with just enough innovation to provide a tasteful alternative to the rest. Custom orders are welcome.

Here are some nice letters we've received from customers.
