Tenor Banjo Old Era/Old Era Deluxe
Old Era is one of the exclusive models. It can be made of flamed maple or walnut.
This banjo is richly decorated with a combination of white and colored abalone mother-of-pearl, both on the headstock and on the fingerboard. The metal parts can be engraved (in the Deluxe version), electroplated with black nickel or 24K gold, or a combination of both, at the customer's request. It is also possible to order hand carving on the neck of the instrument.
The tuning of the tenor banjo is C, G, D, A, but it can also be tuned as a guitar, i.e. D, G, H, E.
The materials and other components of tenor banjos are identical to five-string models.
