Snowbird Banjo is closed, But…

by Jeremy Myers News

It has been a little over a year since we have posted news that Snowbird Banjo Company was shutting down, and it seems time has flashed by. But during that time, this mild “mid-life crisis” has played itself out for owner Jeremy Myers, at least for now, and we have been considering reopening the business. We no longer have a shop, but we have a place where one will soon be started and the gears are turning about how we can make this attempt better than last time.

It is our goal with Snowbird Banjo Company to continue building instruments with hand crafted quality. We will not be offering custom orders in the beginning, but will be revamping our standard models of the “Little Birdie” and the “Barn Owl” and even new models coming soon.

There will be a significant amount of time devoted to building the new shop and we are hoping the new shop will be a Timberframe building. Jeremy has been learning how to do this on the side, and he believes he can make this happen.

Snowbird Banjo Company has a Woodmizer sawmill now, and we are able to cut our own lumber and timbers for the build. This is both a good thing and an inconvenient thing in that we will have to first cut the large number of trees to make the frame structure, mill them, and then put together. That said, we are eager to start and see how it comes out.

With the huge amount of work in front of us, we would hate to estimate a time until re-opening just because of the sheer number of variables. Join our Newsletter mailing list in order to keep up with our progress.

EDIT: This plan has been in flux for most of 2025 and going forward we have developed a plan that is as close to “set in stone” as possible. Please see the most recent update in the “News” menu option above as major changes are coming.

Thank you to all who have supported Snowbird Banjo Company in the past! Maybe this bird can fly again soon.
