Description

The Union Series TUB5 Banjo is a stunning five-string instrument that combines timeless craftsmanship with exceptional performance. Designed for players who value quality, tone, and style, this banjo is perfect for a range of musical styles, from traditional bluegrass to modern compositions.

Built with a mahogany resonator and matching mahogany sides, the TUB5 delivers a rich, warm tone with remarkable resonance and clarity. Mahogany is a favorite among musicians for its ability to produce a deep, balanced sound, making it a reliable choice for solo performances or ensemble playing. The inclusion of a Remo Ambassador head further elevates the instrument’s tonal qualities, ensuring crisp, articulate notes with excellent projection. This head is known for its consistent quality and sensitivity, making it an essential component for creating dynamic performances.

The TUB5’s purple heart wood fingerboard adds another layer of sophistication and functionality. Renowned for its strength and smooth finish, the fingerboard enables effortless playability while standing up to the demands of regular practice and performance. Its rich, natural hue harmonizes beautifully with the vintage burst gloss finish of the banjo. This finish not only enhances the instrument’s visual appeal but also protects its surface, preserving its radiant charm over time.

Every detail of the Union Series TUB5 Banjo has been crafted with the musician in mind. From its visually striking design to its responsive tonal qualities, this banjo offers a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Whether you’re practicing at home, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, the TUB5 provides the reliability and versatility you need to express your musical creativity. With its exceptional build and timeless aesthetic, this five-string banjo is a cherished addition to any player’s collection.
