Ebony Banjo Scalloped Fingerboard Oettinger Tailpiece 24 Scale
Here we have something very rare and very different. Basically it's a 24? It's made of African Ebony, has a scalloped fingerboard and one of my custom made Oettinger tailpieces. Ebony is a very hard wood that only requires a wax finish. In this case it's Carnuba wax which is very hard and does not attract dust. It is strung with Nylgut Red strings on strings 1 - 4 and a D'Addario clear nylon on the 5th.

Once you play a scalloped fingerboard you will NEVER want to play a standard fingerboard again. It has a lovely tone and it can play loud and clear. I started building this banjo about seven years ago and only recently finished it. Any inspection is fine with me but you will have to contact me and somehow arrange it. Will be supplied with a soft carry bag.

Starting at the peg head and working down to the tailpiece. Front and back veneers of Ebony. Raw brass Rickard Cyclone tuners. These are 10:1 and are quite simply the best in the world. High quality Ebony tuning peg buttons from the USA.

One piece slightly rippled Ebony neck. Stunning rippled Ebony scalloped fingerboard with flush phosphor bronze fret metal. Beautiful volute (junction of neck and peg head at rear). Frailing scoop for playing over the neck.

Geared inline Waverley 5th string tuning peg in brass (nickel plating has been removed). Reinforced with embedded aircraft aluminium 2024-T4. Thin walled block constructed rim, 3? Ebony rim has flared Ebony rim cap set on red pinstripe. Branded one piece Ebony dowel stick.

Dobson tone ring set on brass ring. 16 Two point aged brass shoes. Brass tension hoop featuring Thorn & Vine pattern either side of neck and tailpiece.

Custom Oettinger tailpiece featuring Thorn & Vine pattern on fingers and levers. The banjo weighs 8lbs 2ozs.

I would much prefer local collection. This item is in the category "Musical Instruments & DJ Equipment\String\Folk & World\Banjos". The seller is "lyndonlondon" and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom.
