Short Scale Five String Banjo

IMG_8455.jpeg

The same 11” rim as the standard banjo, but with a shorter neck and 20” scale length. A well balanced instrument, perfect for people who want a lighter and smaller banjo but still seek a full sound. I recommend our non-steel string set for this instrument, suitable for standard tuning or tuned up a whole step to “A.”
