This is your opportunity to own one of the first Rioga banjos built. This is a new line of banjos being offered by Paul Conlon of Pure Banjo in Northern Ireland. This "Ion" branded banjo was used as a demo banjo at some festivals in Ireland and then at the Baltimore Banjo Summit in the US. It is now being offered for sale. Here is a link to the Rioga website with more pictures and information and a demo video.
