Minnesota\u2019s Tom Nechville may very well be the closest thing the banjo world has to Leo Fender. For the last 30 years, he\u2019s innovated the five-string banjo with revolutionary\xa0products like the Heli-Mount, the Cyclotronic Tone Ring and the Flux Capacitor. On this week\u2019s podcast, we talk to Nechville about his inventions, his banjos (acoustic and electric) and some of the challenges of building forward-thinking products for a market that largely leans towards the traditional. Even if you\u2019re not a banjo player, you\u2019ll enjoy hearing about how Nechville found his calling in the world of fretted instruments and some of the R&D that he goes through with his instruments.
