See similar gear from other Reverb sellers
On offer is a self-built banjo, which I have named "Djembala", as the tension of the skin is pulled by metal rings and ropes in a similar way to a djembe drum. What began as an experiment has produced amazing tonal characteristics that differ from a conventional modern banjo. It sounds voluminous and warm at the same time, without losing the percussive "twang" of a banjo.
About the features:
- Size 12 inch
- Neck & rim wood mahogany
- Block rim construction
- Ebony fingerboard & headstock
- Fingerboard scoop
- Calfskin
- Steel rings
- Strech resistant ropes
- Bone nut
- Maple and ebony bridge
- Ebony tailpiece
- GHS medium strings
The instrument shows some traces in the wood and varnish, but these are not damage caused by knocks or anything else but work & progress traces. I am therefore selling it for a low (used) price. If you are looking for something special, you will find it here.
