All proceeds from this auction benefit the Handmade Music School at the Floyd Country Store
The funds will go toward new instruments for the new Handmade Music School Youth String Band Program launching in 2024.

BACKGROUND:  Mac Traynham of Floyd County became interested in handmade instruments in 1975 when he commissioned a friend build him a Gibson RB-100 copy on which to play a three finger style of Bluegrass and other experimental music. He became even  more interested after commissioning Wayne Henderson to build him a Martin D-28 style guitar  in 1976.

Being attracted to beautiful woods and a serious player of  Southwest Virginia style clawhammer banjo music, Mac built his first banjo in 1978 using  recycled birdseye maple flooring that had been previously made into a door.  During the late 70’s and early 80’s,  he continued to make banjos and was part of an instrument makers seminar at the 1981 National Folk Festival.

Being interested in all aspects of instrument making and playing, he visited the shops of and got tips from many of the area’s renown instrument makers including  Olen Gardner, Kyle Creed, Arthur Conner, Albert Hash, and Wayne Henderson.  Over the years, he has experimented with  classic tone designs and today is known for  making beautiful banjos that have a superior tone.

He has made over 150 banjos , 13 banjo ukes, and one Gibson  L-00 style guitar.
