Our Celt Tenor Banjo is by far the most popular tenor banjo for students and intermediate customers.
The McNeela Celt Banjo has recently been upgraded (January 2023) for an even better playing experience:
What’s New? We’ve added planetary tuners for faster tuning mid-play; planetary tuners provide even tension while turning smoothly. We’ve also upgraded the rim to wood for richer acoustics and a more premium look.
This quality tenor banjo has been carefully designed and manufactured with precision, and comes professionally setup so it produces the perfect sound.
Key features of the Celt Tenor Banjo (17 Fret)
- 17 fret
- Tenjor banjo
- 4 string
- Remo head
- Mahogany neck and head
- Rosewood fingerboard
- Maple bridge
- Also available with 19 frets
- GDAE tuning
Imported and set up by McNeela Music, this 4 string resonator banjo features a mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard with a maple bridge and attractive gloss finish.
With a Remo Weather King Skin and 24 tension hooks to hold the head tightly, this banjo produces a strong, clear resonant tone - perfect for Irish music sessions. Most importantly, it has a whacking low G - a strong top string that all traditional Irish music playing demands.
