Product Information

Ostettuani banjon, otin sen melko pian mukaan treenikämpälle ja kun olin kuullut, että banjossa on niin kova ääni ettei se tarvitse vahvistinta, lähdin kokeilemaan. Huomasin kyllä heti, että kun bändissä on rummut ja soitamme sähköistettyä kantrimusiikkia niin banjon ääni jää kyllä aivan liian taustalle. There are several appointments that enhance the comfort of this banjo, such as the large bevel armrest that makes it easy for you to glide through those long sessions and setlists. Moreover, you’re going to enjoy the fast-playing nature of the flat walnut fingerboard, which is decorated with beautiful snowflake inlays as well as binding in ivoroid.

The Elite Flying Eagle is a high-end banjo that’s closely modelled on an icon, the Gibson Mastertone series of the mid-1920s through the 1930s. Before the Mastertone, Gibson’s attempt at making a banjo that could compete with those from Epiphone, Paramount and Vega was pitifully poor. Frankly, it was so awful that it risked damaging the reputation of the Gibson brand. Not happy, legend has it that Gibson’s top brass commissioned gifted luthier Lloyd Loar to build a banjo that would silence the competition forever. The result was the Mastertone, with its distinctive, innovative large hollow metal tone ring and incredible tone. The product is internally powered and it is fully equipped to produce the richest sound that is made by your instrument.

Mic’ing a banjo live or in a studio requires careful consideration of several factors, including microphone selection, placement, and post-processing. By following these tips and techniques, you can achieve a natural, balanced sound that accurately captures the unique qualities of the banjo. There are two different types of electric Banjos, the ones that have volume control and tone controls. The more expensive versions will usually come with volume control to make it easier for you to adjust the sound level on your instrument depending on where you are playing or how loud your audience is. FAQs Why Choose an Electric Banjo? Another cool thing is, you can simply unscrew the volume control if you want to play at a jam or a session and look 100% acoustic. But it's not necessary, it is unobtrusive. When using EQ, pay attention to the frequency range of the banjo and use a gentle touch to avoid altering the natural sound of the instrument. Compression should also be used sparingly, as too much compression can make the recording sound unnatural. ConclusionExperiment with different microphone polar patterns (cardioid, omni, or figure-8) to find the best sound for your recording. Place the microphone about six to eight inches away from the banjo’s head, pointing towards the bridge. A wide variety of tunings are used, with the most common being G4 D3 G3 B3 D4. If you’re looking for a melodic, versatile instrument that can be used across many genres then the 5-string is the best choice. Banjos are usually built to fit the hand size of most people. If you have smaller hands, then it is advisable that you should opt for a small Banjo and not a large one because this will make it easier on your fingers, especially if they tend to be cramped while playing an instrument.
