Virginia has long been associated with banjos and bluegrass music. Virginia is the birthplace of many notable banjo players, and also the home of of Stelling Banjo Works. This model honors the state. It features the Virginia state bird (the cardinal) on the peghead, and the Virginia state flower (the dogwood blossom) on the fingerboard. The abalone shell used for the cardinals is selected for the most striking colors to reflect the natural beauty of these lovely birds. Other features include abalone trim and fancy curly maple on the neck and resonator.
All Stelling models feature the Tony Pass 600TS Old Wood rim. This wood has been lying on the bottom of Lake Superior and other bodies of water for over 100 years and could have been hundreds of years old when it was cut down. After a special kiln drying process, this wood is in better than new condition (acoustically speaking) because of the age of the wood combined with the microbiological action to which it was subjected for so many years. It's been said that Stradivarius took advantage of the same process for his violin wood, but for a much shorter time (perhaps only a few years). This rim, installed in a Stelling banjo, is awesome. It's been compared to prewar banjos in such a superior way for tone and volume that it is now standard on all new Stelling banjos.
Includes a deluxe TKL emerald green crushed-velvet, plush-lined case.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing.
