This banjo is for one of our favorite people, Matt Weiner, a bass player we work with a few times a year. He also plays tenor guitar and decided to add tenor banjo to his arsenal. This instrument has steel strings and is tuned CGDA, one of the traditional tenor banjo tunings popular with jazz players. I used Curly Cherry and Texas Ebony for this one, which I got from a retired banjo builder. It makes for a loud but sweet tone, with a bit of growl on the bass strings. I look forward to getting Matt’s feedback on this banjo and seeing him play!
