More details about Wildwood


Wildwood Banjo Co. was founded by Mark Platin officially in 1973. Before that, Mark worked as an apprentice in Santa Monica, Ca. with the talented Ren Ferguson (employed with Gibson Guitars in Bozeman, Mt. as a major force in the acoustic development division). After the informal apprenticeship with Ren, Mark worked for the Dobro Guitar Co. in Long Beach, Ca. for brothers Ed and Rudy Dopera.


Wildwood Banjos are hand made from the finest figured hardwoods available. From beautiful curly maples and curly black walnuts, to exotic species such as Ebony, Bubinga and Wenge. From the traditional simplicity of the MINSTREL to the ornate design of the SOLOIST, we offer a well balanced range of banjos in styles for the traditional frailing and clawhammer style players, and classic powerful bluegrass banjos for 3 finger pickers.The blend of old world craftsmanship and modern technology

Exotic Wood Series helps produce banjos of unequaled quality and design. Choosing an instrument is a very personal experience. When you choose a wildwood, you have chosen an instrument that well become an “old friend”.
