Nechville Classic

In honor of our upcoming workshop featuring Tom Nechville, we present the Nechville Classic banjo. Tom has built banjos for virtually every banjo star in the world of bluegrass, including Alison Brown, Eddie Adcock, and the master himself, Bela Fleck. His uniquely designed tension system, dubbed the Helimount, eliminates all of the problems that plague banjo head tuning. His craftsmanship is unsurpassed, and the playability of his instruments is nothing short of inspiring.

The Helimount system is based on a simple idea that is difficult to execute using standard methods: provide even tension across the head at all points. By using a tensioning system that tightens all point evenly, the Classic produces more volume and a stronger attack than most banjos. Notes are more defined and can easily cut through any ensemble mix. The mahogany body design and simple headstock and fretboard appointments round out this powerhouse.

As with all of our instruments, the Nechville Classic is inspected by our staff for playability and construction, and comes with a hardshell case. If you have any questions regarding the Nechville Classic, email us.
