A Select Banjo Designed for Tradition... and the Stage

This Select banjo follows the spirit of resonator tenor banjos: an instrument designed to deliver acoustic power, precise attack, and excellent note-to-note clarity. Its glossy finish and chrome hardware give it a classic look, ready to accompany both rehearsals and performances.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

Thanks to its 4-string tenor format, this model is aimed at beginner to intermediate musicians seeking a responsive instrument that is easy to "make speak" and capable of projecting. It is particularly suited for dynamic playing and registers where a percussive and present sound is expected (accompaniment, driving rhythms, fast melodic lines).

Sound

The combination of mahogany (body and resonator) + sanded head promotes a sound that is both warm and precise, with a well-defined attack. The resonator enhances projection and directivity, useful for standing out in an ensemble. The maple bridge, complemented by hardwood inlays, provides clarity and good note separation while maintaining balanced sustain for a tenor banjo.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To complement the included case, you can add a clip-on tuner (compatible with most heads), some plectrums according to your attack, and a microfiber cloth to maintain the glossy finish and chrome hardware.
