The US bronze powder finish and Lexan polycarbonate nut create a cohesive look and ensure smooth string movement.

Compared to heavier models, the 4.5 lb. weight makes this banjo easier to handle during travel or practice. Furthermore, the 26.25" scale length and 11" rim diameter provide familiar proportions that many players appreciate.
