What do banjos and African Elephants have in common?
The first significant similarity is they both have as their roots the great lands of the African content. It also turns out that they are both loved dearly by Jamie Deering.
Bringing them together and celebrating their shared ancestry it is my great pleasure to bring you this one of a kind African Elephant Goodtime Banjo!
The drum-head of this banjo was kissed by Chishuru, an African bull. Bearing the image of this majestic animal on the peghead and custom painted the warm grey of their strong skin, this banjo was made to contribute to the lives of the African Elephant.
The proceeds for this auction will be donated to the work of the Rory Hensman Conservation & Research Unit who is a South African based non-profit researching and educating toward handling a wide variety of issues to better understand and help African Elephants continue to live healthy and safe lives. They have the mission to foster an environment of collaboration among experts, fueled by the common passion to conserve wildlife.
Conservation starts with understanding.
