Menzies Instruments is owned by Jeff Menzies who makes gourd banjos, tackhead banjos, minstrel banjos, gourd fiddles, akontings, and more. Based out of Kingston, Jamaica, Jeff is creating functional works of art. Jeff has a deep connection to community, people, and his work and does a ton to educate others on the West African and Caribbean roots of the banjo. A purchase of a Menzies banjo goes to supporting a great cause and an incredible luthier! There are only a few places in the United States where you can purchase Menzies Instruments and we are extremely happy to be one of them!
