Product Description

Description

The Celt Banjo by McNeela

“A beautiful instrument.” - Jacob R.

The Celt Banjo has been upgraded! (Nov 2024)

It now has its own specially commissioned Celtic motif design.

The rim has been upgraded to wood to give you richer, more expansive acoustics, and a more premium look.

And we’ve reinforced the steel used to fasten the pegs in place, so that they stay in tune for even longer.

Plus, it has 24 tension hooks to hold the head tightly, to produce a strong, clear resonant tone.

It has an elegant mahogany body, neck, back and rim and features a Remo Weather King Skin.

What's more, it has a strong top string that gives you a really impessive low G.

Effortlessly responsive and gloriosuly easy of play, this is the most popular tenor banjo with all our traditional Irish music students and teachers.

Product highlights

What's Been Upgraded?

We've given the Celt planetary tuners. Planetary tuners have a ratio of 4:1, which allows you to fine-tune as you play, but without forcing you to interupt what you're playing.

This Banjo Will Turn Heads

“A beautiful instrument. It arrived quickly and very well packaged.” - Dearbhaile O. .

What Gives It That Sound?

All our banjos are fitted out with carefully selected D’Addario strings, and have a white, Remo skin head, as the tonal consistency, and the volume you get from your banjo, are very much dependent on these two crucial elements.

“5 stars for the Celt Banjo! I am a trumpet player enjoying this tenor banjo in my spare time.” - Michael F.

The Celt Banjo by McNeela (Tenor, 4 String, 19 Fret)

I had been looking to get an instrument to begin learning Irish traditional music for a couple years and my focus had most recently turned to the Irish tenor banjo. When I first came across “The Celt” from McNeela, it appeared to check all the boxes for affordable price and moderate quality but it was out of stock. I kept looking at alternatives, but hadn’t settled on another brand or model that interested me enough to make the purchase. Fortunately in November 2024, The Celt became available and it was offered a sale price that made my decision for me. The online purchase process was simple and secure, and the banjo arrived about two weeks later in Northwest Ohio, USA. Careful attention to packaging and shipping was evident, and I am impressed with fit and finish of the banjo—exceeding my expectations. I have played “The Celt” 2-4 hours daily since it arrived, and, for a beginner instrument, it has met my needs completely. I’m learning session tunes as fast as I can add to my repertoire and playing in some slower sessions to start out, but am satisfied that this beautiful tenor banjo will serve me well for quite a while. I heartily recommend this banjo and McNeela Music.

The Celt Banjo by McNeela (Tenor, 4 String, 19 Fret)

After several months of use, I did not want to launch a review until drawing definitive conclusions. I do not recommend this banjo, the feel and playability are poor, the strings, I don't know if it's because of the design, or because of the action (too high), they don't have the tension they should, it doesn't help to play fast and make triplets, out of tune notes even at the third fret, almost incorrigible by adjusting the bridge. The finishes are not good either, the rosewood of the neck is full of scratches where the inlays are. The sound, however, is well resonant and has a nice tone.
