This Bart Reiter Buckbee Banjo is a nod to the famous Buckbee banjos of the late 19th century and it delivers on that traditional, mellow, and full open-back sound. It's not only a cool, classic player, but a heck of a lot of banjo for the price. Perfect for frailing or clawhammer-style playing, it comes with a scooped fingerboard that allows for easy playability over the neck. It has an 11" Maple rim with a Mahogany stain and a Walnut cap, a rolled brass tone ring, a Mahogany neck, bone nut, Planetary tuners with a geared 5th and more.

It has a really sharp, minimalist guitar-style headstock with an Ebony overlay and comes with a 26 1/4" scale length, 1 1/4" nut width, 17 nickel-silver frets and an Elite Amber head. This Bart Reiter Buckbee Banjo is a great player with big tone and is a heck of a lot of fun to play.
