Geoff Stelling
Geoff Stelling has spent the past 40 years perfecting his five-string Bluegrass banjos, from the patented wedge-fitted pot assembly up to the pivot-pin tailpiece. His designs assures the best possible tone ring and flange to wood rim fit possible without having to thread the strings through a hole in the tailpiece. Designed for power and clarity of sound, the Bluegrass banjo is unique, he explains, it’s a percussive sound like “a drum with strings vibrating on it.”
