Banjo Studio is proud to be a Pisgah dealer. You are viewing the actual banjo that you'll be purchasing.

This Pisgah Roscoe was handmade by Pisgah Banjo Co. in Asheville, North Carolina, and built with our Banjo Studio tweaks. The Roscoe is Pisgah's all-wood old-time openback: a clear walnut rim with a walnut tone rim, a natural cherry neck and the square Roscoe headstock. We ordered this one on a smaller 11" rim instead of the usual 12", and we set it up with low, easy action that makes it a joy to play.

What makes it unique:

11" walnut rim. The standard Roscoe is built on a 12" rim. The 11" pot tightens up the low end and gives a punchier, more focused note that keeps the Roscoe's dark walnut character, and the banjo is a bit smaller and lighter on your lap.

Walnut tone rim. Instead of a metal tone ring, the head sits on a walnut tone rim for a soft attack, a warm, plunky note and no harsh overtones.

Short 25 1/2" scale. Slinky, easy-to-fret strings and a shorter reach to the first frets. Great for smaller hands and for tuning down to old-time keys.

Roscoe headstock and Richlite trim. The square headstock wears a figured walnut veneer, and the Richlite fingerboard and black Richlite rim cap frame the clear cherry and walnut.

Pisgah advantages. Magnetic truss rod cover for easy access, and the frailing notch on the tension hoop for more room at the sweet spot. Pisgah builds by hand in a solar-powered, net zero carbon shop and backs every banjo with a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner.

The sound: dark, mellow and woody with a clear plunk. The Renaissance head adds a touch of sweetness, and the 11" pot keeps the bass tight instead of boomy.

Comes with a padded Pisgah Access gig bag, PBCO Clawhammer strings and Pisgah's certificate of ownership. Made in U.S.A. Every banjo is professionally set up and checked by Banjo Studio before it leaves our shop.
