I’m now packaging all of my kits with a versatile string set. This allows for cello (low) tuning on any kit. For this reason I’m taking the “cello banjo” kit off, at least for now. Moving in to 2025 I am going to focus mainly on the classic minstrel neck. This neck can accommodate the lower cello strings just as well as the cello neck has.
I’m planning to offer the minstrel neck on a tackhead bent rim kit, a gourd kit and on a rim kit with adjustable head tension hardware. I will also soon make the classic minstrel neck available WITH FRETS. It makes sense to focus in on this capable neck design and use it across the board.
So that being said, the cello banjo kit is out of the lineup, at least for now. Please consider the classic minstrel kit instead and you can tune it exactly as the cello kit.
