andy perkins traditional instruments

a new, higher-grade modern entry-level/intermediate banjo. It has an 11” laminated ½” maple rim with a rolled brass tone ring & sturdy chrome plated metalwork - 18 brackets and a cast Kerschner-style tailpiece. The plating is very good. Fitted with a top sprayed Remo head. The truss rodded maple neck is slim with a black bound rosewood fingerboard and pearl dot position markers. The scale length is 26 ½” with 22 frets. Modern banjo fretting, nicely done and hand-dressed by us to provide an excellent playing surface. The action is set-up low but is adjustable as required. Fitted with good quality guitar style tuners and a geared 5th string peg. The resonator is a standard convex type. The neck is finished in clear matt lacquer which matches the body & resonator very well - the finish is very good. Overall, this banjo is well built and very good value for money. It has a bright tone suitable for any open chord tuning. An economical banjo which would suit a beginner very well.
