The Quadrille - Named after an early American dance, this medium grade open-back banjo is styled after some of the turn of the century Boston banjos with finely engraved mother of pearl inlays.
The neck is made of
curly maple with a hollow steel neck rod. No neck adjustments are available nor needed. A
delicate flying fish adorns the peghead and a large mirror image on both
sides of the nut. On the fingerboard is a delicate dolphin on the 5th fret flowing into the 4th fret, and two identical decorative
dolphins, belly to belly on the bottom of the fingerboard. All other fret
markers are mother of pearl diamonds. There is a fine black/red lamination
beneath the peghead, fingerboard, and heel cap. Seventeen frets is
standard but it is also available with an option of 22 frets or fretless.
Also available with an optional frailing scoop. See custom options. Included are 5-star
Planet pegs and geared 5th peg with grained ivoroid buttons, tiny side dots
and one railroad spike at the 7th fret. Additional railroad spikes are
optional.
The rim is of straight grain maple in 11" or 12" diameter. It is 3 inches plus deep and 1/2 inch thick. The rim is capped with my patented ebony tonering which gives that sweet wood tone. Below the tonering on the inside is a band of wood rope purfling. The bottom is capped with ebony and had a band of rope wood purfling beneath it on the inside and out. The standard shade of stain on the wood is light cherry to show the stripes in the neck, but it is also available in a dark cherry stain.
The metal hardware includes a grooved tension hoop, flat hooks and my own design ball-end nuts, a Kershner tailpiece, petite armrest, and a fancy old-time ferrel on the end of the dowel stick. All metal hardware is nickel plated. Available with your choice of either a Fiberskin or Renaissance head. A calfskin head is also available. Price - $2490.00
