The Banjolit project was started in 2013 by Richard Ciferský, an internationally recognized banjo master and composer from Pezinok, Slovak Republic. In 2018 Banjolit was formally established as a company with the priority of manufacturing high quality accessories for musicians.
Over time, Banjolit has extended its product range with the aim of assisting musicians to play and practice more comfortably with useful and quality accessories.
The Banjolit team has a close partnership, with the cooperation of other musicians and friends. Our ideas are shared with professional musicians who then road test each product before being made available for sale.
Our products have been very well received by our customers and distributers and have the reputation of being easy and comfortable for both professional and amateur musicians.
What musicians said
After all these years of playing banjo, I didn’t see a need to change armrests, but after I tried Dr. Arm armrest from Banjolit, I knew I wanted one on all of my instruments. I can’t believe how much I love this armrest. Now, the traditional metal armrests feel sticky and cumbersome.
Kristin Scott Benson
I love the Dr. Arm banjo armrest because of how comfortable it feels. Playing the banjo is all about feel, especially when you are performing in different settings. You have to set up the instrument so that everything feels tension-free to play your best. The angle and finish of the Dr. Arm are definitely an improvement on a traditional armrest, which can put stress on your forearm. I dig how these armrests look, but I’m even more into the way they make the instrument feel when I play.
Chris Pandolfi
This Banjolit armrest keeps me looking sharp. It stops me from wearing a hole in both my mandolin and my jackets. In addition, it keeps my arm off the body and hand off the bridge adding volume and resonance to my playing. It’s so comfortable that I often forget it’s there until someone points out how nice it looks.
We welcome any ideas to the table in our search for better solutions for the working
musicians and life things.
