VINTAGE®
DELUXE G BANJO INTRODUCED
The two most common
forms of banjo are the 4-string Tenor banjo – frequently found
in traditional Irish music and tuned an octave below the mandolin –
and the 5-string G banjo, so named as it is commonly put in G tuning
these days.
The G banjo is the only completely indigenous North American folk instrument,
and has more than 50 different tunings.
Vintage's new VB30GDL Deluxe G Banjo features a multi-ply wood rim with
rolled brass tone ring and Remo® ' Weatherking'
coated banjo head. Both the neck and resonator frame are mahogany, while
the fingerboard is rosewood. Hardware is chrome for extra longevity,
including the armrest, flange and geared machine heads.
