Turtle Hill Banjo Company is a very unusual business. Although we maintain a large inventory of new and used banjos, we do very little with any other type of instrument. We have been in the banjo business for more than thirty years, and have always believed in one-on-one personal service. As everyone who has visited our shop knows, we schedule visits by appointment so we can spend as much time with you as you want, without interruptions.

We are glad that you have found us!  Besides here on the web, Turtle Hill Banjo Company is located inside a large music store in La Plata, Maryland inside Island Music Company at:

403 Charles Street

LaPlata, MD 20646

My hours are appointment only (my area is locked when I’m not there). Since I live only a few blocks from the shop, if I'm not away I can be there whenever needed. Just give me a call at (301) 274-3441

Most companies have MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements with dealers. Our prices are below MAP, which doesn’t violate their policies, but we can’t post them on our site. Feel free to call or send us an email and we will be glad to quote our price for any banjo you are interested in. 

If you have a banjo for sale, please give us a call. We are always interested in buying, and we pay well for anything we can use. Early Gibsons are of special interest. Coming soon: Learn more about how to identify your Gibson banjo.
