AATi Foundry made four sets of brass tension hoops and clips to hold the skin over the main body pot of a banjo. Raymond White of Haystack Banjos made wooden patterns to his exact requirements.
By individually moulding the parts, cutting runner systems and feeding them correctly, the foundry produced sound castings for machining, polishing and fitting. The source notes that each banjo is a labour of love, with four made a year.
