“The banjo Alex built for me gets me excited to learn new techniques and develop more deeply as a player. By listening to what I wanted in a banjo and being willing to experiment with the design of the body, he made me a truly unique instrument that I will be making music with for decades to come."
"My fundy banjo has a lovely tone and is a pleasure to play. The headstock and fretboard are beautifully designed and made from a richly textured wood. Its a joy to have a one of a kind instrument crafted with such care and attention to detail."
"Alex was very thoughtful and open when working with me to build my banjo. He asked for my input when making decisions throughout the process and made me feel like I could also ask him questions about details that I wasn’t familiar with.
The result was great! The banjo has a beautiful sound and is wonderful to play! My feelings about the banjo are echoed by other players too, I’ve lent my banjo out to others over the past few years, several of whom have then gone on to order a Fundy Banjo for themselves."
"I love my little red banjo made by Alex Nemet at Fundy Banjos. It brings forward sounds that are both earthy and bright, both punchy and smooth, and I find it easy to be expressive and playful on the instrument.
I had tried a few of Alex's banjos before he made this one and I loved them all, so I knew I was in for a treat when he agreed to make me one. We brainstormed the possibilities, and Alex helped me understand the design and build options so that we could come up with my dream banjo together.
Throughout the whole building process, Alex was attentive and communicative, sharing the creative process with me. I got to witness a beautiful piece of art being made and now I get to make music with that very piece. I'm truly grateful both for this experience and all the music to come from Little Red!"
“I had a very positive experience with Alex and Fundy Banjos. He resurrected my banjo by fixing the neck and replacing the corroded strings with fresh ones. I love his attention to detail and efficiency, thanks again Alex!”
"Working with Alex at Fundy Banjos was a real treat. My partner and I both started playing tenor banjo a few years ago, but we were having trouble sourcing a decent tenor banjo in Nova Scotia, so when we discovered that we could have one built we jumped at the opportunity!
Alex was very accommodating with how we wanted our banjo to look and feel. We even got to pick out the hardware and the the inlay design on the head of the banjo. We love the tone and playability of the instrument. The banjo is an open back 17-fret tenor banjo with a very mellow and warm tone. Definitely worth the wait!"
