BIG Low Sounding
STICHTER MINSTREL BANJO KITThis is the big one. Henry Stichter\'s banjo was this size - a whopping 14 inch rim and a 31 inch scale length. You can take the minstrel or modern banjo tunings way down to an unearthly rumble. This is the true sound of the Stichter banjo. If you can play a bass guitar you can reach the neck on this. I wouldn\'t suggest that small women or kids try to play this. Play it clawhammer style, or finger style, or my favorite, the minstrel style. Easy to assemble. You sand and stain and finish it. The kit comes with Aquila Nylgut Strings for that big low minstrel sound. No other 1800\'s style banjo is this big. If you want big, loud, and low - this is the one.
Popular with woodworkers, Civil War buffs, and amateur instrument makers, and of course,
Banjo players.
The instructions are VERY detailed, I even include video clips to help you with every step.
For a short time I\'m offering these monsters at the same price as the \'normal\' Stichters I sell.On this big banjo, the minstrel tuning goes way down from dGDF#A to cFCEG and many men find this more suitable for their singing voice. Any song you\'d play in modern or minstrel tuning can be played on this - it\'ll just be lower (and louder). If you are new to fretless Minstrel Banjo, imagine a clawhammer banjo but with a lower, louder, mellower sound. The head is goatskin as on the original. The strings are very easy to push down. The string spacing at the bridge and the nut is wider, making it very easy to \'zero\' in on a string. There are several books out now containing minstrel banjo tunes in both tablature and notation. Also, clawhammer players just tune a minstrel banjo to sawmill or open tuning and this brings a new sound and new life to their repetoire.
FROM A RECENT KIT BUILDER -
Hi Terry,I just thought I would drop you a line to thank you for the kit you sent me. The kit was really just a matter of finish sanding and finish, and assembly. This is a great instrument, sound, looks, and satisfaction of value. I followed your directions on the shellac finish, but used alcohol based aniline dye, with amber shellac. I received the package Friday afternoon and was playing the thing on Sunday. Thank you for the quality product. I will recommend your banjos to anyone.Brad S., CaliforniaBell Banjos, in Michigan, has made countless banjos and kits for pros, amateurs, and museum display.Only $30 Shipping to U.S.
