andy perkins traditional instruments

a new, modern high grade travel banjo or banjeaurine. It has an 8” x ½” laminated maple rim with a small brass tone ring & chrome-plated metalwork - 16 brackets and a No-Knot tailpiece. The plating is very good. Fitted with a smooth Remo head. The dark-stained truss rodded maple neck is slim with a cream bound rosewood fingerboard and diamond position markers. The scale length is 19 ½” with 19 frets. Modern banjo fretting, very nicely done. The action is set-up low but is adjustable as required. Fitted with good quality vintage style planetary tuners and a geared 5th string peg. The neck is finished in clear gloss lacquer which matches the body very well - the finish is very good. Overall, this banjo is very well built and very good value for money. It has a clear tone suitable for open “C” tuning but will tune happily to open “A“ with heavier strings. A good travel banjo which would suit a player of any standard -though you may find yourself playing at home as well! A nice sounding instrument at a good price!
