Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the "lousy" name a joke?
A: No, it isn't. While Mike Longworth had a very delightful and often peculiar sense of humor, the LouZee banjos are not a joke in any way. They are truly serious instruments. Their sound is amazing.

Q: Is the banjo name really pronounced "lousy?"
A: Yes.  Mike wanted to build the best banjo possible, but call it a "lousy" banjo.
With all of the banjo player jokes circulating around these days, it was Mike's way of turning the tables on the non banjo players.
