Seeders Banjo #010 – Longneck Tubaphone Banjo

July 15, 2012

My first longneck build loosely based on the early Vega Pete Seeger model. The banjo is curly maple with ebony and brass appointments. The long scale, fiberskyn head and tubephone tone ring give it a very rich tone with plenty of punch. The banjo also has my first engraving work on the inlaid stars and dots.

  • 11″ Steam Bent Pot with 28 Hook Ball Shoe Bracket Band
  • 32″ Longneck Scale Length
  • Tubaphone Tone Ring
  • 1 1/4″ Nut
  • Stained Black with Hard Oil Hand Rubbed Finish
  • Antiqued Brass Harware
  • Hand Engraved Inlays
  • Seeders Cherry Bridge
  • Seeders Pyramid Heel
  • Hidden Fret Ends

    A beautiful job Bill! What did you use for the stain and is it a tung oil over the stain?? Definitely a real winner look against the antiqued brass!
