<p>Hi Marc!</p>
<p>Happy New Year to you and the family.</p>
<p>Those Merrimans are beautiful looking banjos. I guess that we will never know how the fingerboard widths were decided... Did the maker have a way of measuring or supply a finger chart for when the order was taken? I have never heard about this, but there must have been some way or there would be a lot of players who didn't like the neck widths of their brand NEW instrument!</p>

<p>For my part , i prefer instruments with a wide neck at the nut ;</p>
<p>it 's true that the size at the nut is not always the same , even in the same model of the same brand ; I guess it 's up to the luthier ' idea , up to the piece of wood he is using to make the neck ( CE & Windsors about 30 to 34 cm)</p>
<p>Weaver , 34 , 35 cm</p>
<p>my Hartford is 35 mm at the nut…</p>

<p>I am sure that you are correct Joel. Possibly it was not what was specified but who they ordered the banjo from?</p>
<p>Maybe they were NOT given specifications... maybe it was "send us 20 of the Wood hoop Specials asap"</p>
<p></p>
<p>It is a great shame that we will never know the correct answer.</p>

<p>I would suspect that the size depends on who they sourced them from. I'm sure they provided specifications that were followed more or less. </p>
<p>My Metal Hoop Special has a very wide neck at 34.925mm. I wonder why that is?</p>
