Tenor Banjo

4/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Finished this tenor banjo commission yesterday, strung up and tuned GDAE for Irish tunes.
I haven't played a tenor banjo for well over 10 years, that's my excuse for the sloppy audio file, but you get the idea of the tone.
This was the first tenor I've built, hopefully it won't be the last, as it was a fun project. If you're interested in commissioning one, prices are the same as for my open back banjos.

Just a little reminder, I'll be finishing up some stock banjos over the next couple of months, the first should be listed For Sale in a couple of weeks (a Maple open back).

12" 2-ply Maple rim, capped top and bottom in Walnut
1/4" Brass rod tone ring
Renaissance head
Presto tailpiece
21.5" scale Ebony fingerboard
Black Walnut neck
