Remember emeraldbanjos@gmail.com phone 01225 785168 from UK phone 0879 17985 from Ireland This is a top quality 19 fret tenor banjo with a wonderful resonant sound due in large part to the large air volume within the rim plus the beautiful sound produced by the TUBAPHONE tone ring. An additional benefit is that the weight is low, and so the instrument is excellent for “session hunting" up and down the streets at fleadhs. BUT this banjo has enough power to be heard in any multi instrument session. It has a low action lending itself to being played with a crisp accurate style. It is currently strung tuned to GDAE with 42w 30w 20w and 13p nickel plated strings. As far as we know we are the only banjo maker currently producing a banjo with the fabulous sounding Tubaphone tone ring.
It has fantastic character and playability and it is extremely well balanced and comfortable to use |
