CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

This month we’re featuring Will Seeders, of Seeders Instruments, who uses the metal he buys from Speedy to build custom banjos!

He says: “I build custom banjos and fabricate the majority of the hardware used myself. I use Speedy Metals hex and round stock for the nuts and hooks needed for tensioning the heads. I make these on a manual Hardinge turret lathe and do the bending for the hooks with fixtures I made in house. Couldn't do it without Speedy Metals!”
