Savannah "travel" banjo -- Better Than New!

Price: $250.00 USD

11" head, ~19-15/16" scale.

9/16"-thick multi-ply rim, ~1/4" brass head-bearing hoop ("tone ring"). Remo Fiberskyn head.

I added flat washers to each of the shoe bolts, and also to each of the tension nuts (to replace the lock washers). Replaced the original tuners with some basic (but smooth-working) planetaries. Removed some excess wood from the bridge.

It is a "C-scale" banjo (banjeaurine), IOW, meant to be tuned 5 frets higher than standard banjo pitch (with a standard set of strings).
However... I have it strung just a bit heavy (11,13,18w,26w,11), and I think it's got surprising depth and clarity of tone at "A" pitch, and isn't too loose to be tolerable at G.

Includes the original nylon gig bag.
