This banjo provides a vibrant singing banjo tone in any situation. Also, light enough to easily hold and play and is the perfect banjo to start out with since it is fretted correctly and plays easily.
Tuned in 5ths to GDAE for Irish music, this banjo is a great crossover instrument for string players! As one customer put it "Really great instrument with a great build quality and a lovely loud and rich tone. It is a delight to play, slim neck and lighter weight body. I chose the Irish GDAE tuning so that I can use the chords and tunes already learnt on the mandolin. and am well impressed and can strongly recommend one of these lovely American made banjos".
At Eagle Music we set up each Erin banjo with the correct gauge strings for playing Irish music in GDAE tuning. Also at the set-up stage, We set the action and intonation ...We tune each banjo before dispatch.

The 3 ply rim is built from solid violin maple. The rim diameter is 279.40mm (11”) and a thickness of 14.28mm (9/16”).
