Hello,
Selling my Calkins custom banjo
Model #246

Purchased early 2023... this is a beautiful handmade open back with some upgrades and customization.

• Features a traditional 1/4" Brass tone hoop seated under a Rickard Dobson tone ring!
• Zero Glide ZS-8 Banjo Nut, Slotted
(Makes for perfect intonation and can be switched back to steel without having to re-slot bone nut).
•12" pot
•25.5" scale
•Slotted peg head
•Black walnut neck
•Richlite Fingerboard
•Fiberskyn head
• strung up with aquila reds 11b with wound 4th string.
Items included with sale.
•Pisgah gig bag!
•Sampson Bluegrass Banjo Bridge, 1/2" Walnut Crowe-Spaced (very nice bridge)
• Buckeye Banjo bridge (slotted for nylguts)
• will also include an extra bridge slotted for steel strings.
This banjo has presence, great volume and sustain.
Rich tone with a good balance of punch and plunk.
I can provide sound clips upon request.

Thanks for looking,
Tyler
