SOLD!!! Stelling Red Fox Banjo

Comments	The beautiful Stelling Red Fox banjo is a new model, another superb example of Geoff Stelling’s fine craftsmanship. Inspired by master banjoist Bill Emerson, the Red Fox features Stelling’s unique bronze ‘Wedge Fit’ tone ring fitted to a Tony Pass ‘Lost Timbre’ block rim. The Red Fox inlay on the headstock and abalone maple leaf inlay on the fingerboard help make this fine instrument really quite fetching. We were thrilled to renew our dealership with Stelling and now carry three models as standard stocking representation of these fine banjos. Stelling established themselves as a benchmark in modern banjo construction with a unique approach to tone ring to rim construction that ensures maximum ring to rim contact for full tonal transmission. Stelling also engineered their own unique heavy centrifugal cast bronze flange and machined tailpiece to create THE classic Stelling banjo sound.
