The New McNeela 5-String Banjo

Unlock your potential with the New McNeela 5-String Banjo, designed specifically for enthusiasts of Bluegrass and Old-Timey/Country music. This banjo stands out with its essential 5th string, enabling you to delve deep into the genres' traditional rhythms and syncopations, much like the legendary Luke Kelly. Elevate your musical journey with a banjo that combines quality, tradition, and the unique capability to bring your performances to life.

The McNeela 5-String Banjo distinguishes itself with several notable features. It comes equipped with a durable Remo skin and is classified as a high-grade instrument, ideal for detailed playing. This banjo has a closed back for improved sound projection and a timeless classic design.

Its construction includes a warmth-enhancing mahogany resonator and a sturdy aluminium shell, offering a blend of rich tones and clear acoustics. Additionally, each banjo is strung with meticulously selected D'Addario strings, ensuring exceptional sound quality right from the first strum.

Key Features of the McNeela 5-String Banjo:

  • Remo Skin
  • High Grade 5 String Banjo
  • Closed Back
  • Classic Style
  • Mahogany Resonator
  • Aluminium Shell
  • Hand-picked D'Addario strings
  • 30-day money back trial

Advantages of a 22 Fret Banjo

Due to its larger size, the strings are wound to a higher tension than a 17 fret or 19 fret banjo, creating a brighter tone and more volume. The 22 fret fingerboard offers endless opportunities for new repertoire and playing styles.

This is a quality banjo that will serve you well at every stage of your musical journey, right to advanced level.
