Tenor Banjo Student
The Student model is a tenor banjo for beginners, but advanced players will appreciate it as well. It is popular not only for its sound, but also for its simple design. This makes it affordable, although all of its important components are essentially identical to those used in more expensive models.
The exception are the inlays, which in this case are austere. The finish is matt, the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
The tuning of the tenor banjo is C, G, D, A, but it can also be tuned like a guitar, i.e. D, G, H, E.
Materials and other components of tenor banjos are identical to five-string models.
