Introducing our brand new, entry-level 5-string banjo. It’s a classic, flat back banjo and is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to experiment with a 5-string banjo for the first time. It’s a premium, elegantly crafted instrument with a mahogany resonator.
The resonator prevents the sound from being absorbed by your body, to ensure that all of the music you make gets sent back out into the room where you're playing it.
It has a double-footed bridge instead of a 3-foot bridge, as this delivers a tone that’s even brighter and more vibrant. And we’ve given it geared planetary tuners which allow you to fine-tune effortlessly as you play.
And with the slightly longer, 22 fret neck, you’ll have plenty of room to explore an extensive repertoire of tunes, whether what you lean towards is American bluegrass or Irish trad.
For although the 5-string is more commonly associated with bluegrass today, it has rich historical associations with traditional irish music, with the likes of Tommy Makem and Luke Kelly playing a 5-string in New York and Dublin respectively, in the 1960s.
This is a supremely crafted instrument at an affordable price and is the perfect entry-level 5-string banjo.
