It Started with Fine Musical Instruments
Stella Falone was established by Bob Taylor, co-founder of Taylor Guitars, an industry-leading acoustic guitar manufacturer whose guitars are played by artists from Paul McCartney to Taylor Swift. In 2011, Taylor Guitars became the co-owner of Crelicam, a small ebony sawmill in Yaoundé, Cameroon, which produces ebony parts for musical instruments. For centuries, instrument makers have used dark and durable ebony wood for fingerboards on violins and guitars, along with piano keys. Taylor’s goal in owning the mill was to create a more socially responsible value chain for ebony musical instrument components.
In the process of cutting ebony for fingerboards, there are pieces that don’t fit the precise specifications for musical instruments yet whose beauty and durability make them wonderfully suited for other types of products. And part of Taylor’s commitment to responsible wood use is to minimize waste. As a longtime lover of food, cooking and quality kitchen products, Bob Taylor was inspired to use some of this beautiful wood to develop a line of kitchen woodcrafts, starting with cutting boards.
“I particularly love the idea of kitchenware products because of the way that food, like music, brings people together,” Bob says.
The ebony selected for Stella Falone products is cut and processed at the Crelicam mill in Cameroon, and the manufacturing process is completed on the campus of Taylor Guitars in California. This allows Stella Falone to leverage Taylor’s sophisticated manufacturing resources to produce kitchenware that meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
Together, Taylor, Crelicam and Stella Falone have worked to create a circular economy by creating more value around ebony and for the communities where the wood is sourced. Over the last decade, this has brought steady improvements to the mill to support value-added wood processing work in Cameroon. This contributes to greater resource efficiencies, increases the economic value of each ebony tree, and supports the local economy.
The ebony supply in Cameroon is controlled by special government-issued permits based on an annual quota, and only a small number of permits are issued each year. All Stella Falone items are crafted using appropriate ebony pieces already at the Crelicam mill, so no additional trees are cut to make Stella Falone products. But Taylor's goal for ebony goes further than just using what they have been granted as efficiently as possible — they want to help preserve ebony for future generations.
In Cameroon, Taylor’s partnership with the Congo Basin Institute, an extension of UCLA based in Yaoundé, has produced groundbreaking scientific research into the ecology of ebony and informed a community-based replanting program that has planted more than 15,000 ebony trees. By the close of 2026, Taylor is committed to planting an additional 30,000 ebony trees and 25,000 fruit trees.

Warranty FAQ
DO I NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY?
Most manufacturers limit their warranty periods to keep their product costs competitive. It should come as no surprise that most problems occur after the manufacturer’s warranty is over. If you are like most consumers, you don't want to deal with the inevitable problems surrounding repairs. Who do you call for service? Are they reliable? Is a handyman capable of performing a long lasting, reliable repair on your instrument?
Ranked #1 Extended Warranty
CPS provides top notch warranty protection for your purchases to ensure life and longevity. This means that they care about you and your product long after your purchase has been made. This warranty offers reliable, hassle-free, comprehensive parts and labor protection for your product.
You Need to Prepare for These Issues Today
Bananas is an Authorized Consumer Priority Service Dealer. This means that they care about you and your products long after the purchase date. You can easily extend your manufacturer's warranty for a possible total of 5 years from the date of purchase.
CPS Warranties Offer Reliable Protection for Your Product
By purchasing a CPS accidental damage plan, you’re guaranteed years of worry free operation from your new product.
Is a CPS Warranty just an extension of the existing manufacturer’s warranty?
Actually, it’s an upgrade to your existing manufacturer’s warranty. A CPS Warranty offers benefits that aren’t offered by manufacturers like accidental damage & free shipping to and from the repair facility.
What’s the difference between a Replacement Plan and Repair Plan?
A Replacement Plan is available for products under $150. If the product fails, you will receive a replacement through Bananas.
A Repair Plan is for products over $150 and offers free repair coverage for your product any time during the life of your warranty. If we can’t fix it, we’ll replace it!
How am I covered?
For the Replacement Plan, your coverage provides for a one-time replacement of the covered product.
For the Repair Plan, you are covered for a period of up to five years (depending on which plan you purchase). Benefits include parts and labor for required repairs on your product.
When does my warranty coverage start?
Coverage begins on the 31st calendar day from when you purchased your product.
Can I transfer the Protection Plan to a new owner?
Yes! CPS Warranties are transferable between owners.
What if I Need to Return my Product?
If you return your product, Bananas returns the money you paid for the product protection plan. Depending on how much time has passed since your purchase, CPS may issue a prorated refund.
Is my product covered if it’s stolen or if I lose it?
Unfortunately the CPS Warranty does not cover lost or stolen products.
Is there a service fee?
Zero dollar service fee for the Replacement Plans and the Repair Plans.
HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM?
Warning: Some of the products purchased at Bananas At Large can expose you to chemicals, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm. For more information go to https://www.P65Warnings.ca.
