Plectrum Pelican

Plectrum banjo was not very well known or widespread in our country before, but thanks to Ivan Mládek, for example, who has been using it for years, this is gradually changing.

Because the instrument can be tuned with the practical guitar tuning (so called Chicago tuning) EHGD, this instrument can equally replace the guitar banjo. Every guitarist can therefore start playing the banjo from day to day without any learning and enrich the usual monotony of guitar sessions with its sound.

In the world, it is most likely to be found in Dixieland and jazz bands, but where it is tuned DHGC.

The Pelican is the third model in the Plectrum banjo series, which even advanced players will appreciate for its great sound and elegant design. Instead of the dots on the fingerboard that adorn the lower models, it features oval mother-of-pearl inlays and the headstock is decorated with a stylized pelican emblem in white natural mother-of-pearl. The fingerboard and headstock plate are made of rosewood. The lacquer is polished.

All important parts are basically identical to those used in more expensive models (tone ring, flange, mechanics, etc.). The exception is the decoration, which is simplier in this case.
