Baycu Pony Banjo #2512 -$1850 w/HSC
A very nice vintage style Pony banjo using a 1920's Slingerland model #24 banjo ukulele rim and hardware with a custom Baycu neck.

The neck conforms to traditional Pony banjo dimensions of a 12" neck and 8" rim with a scale length of 18". This is approximately the same size as a Gibson A style mandolin.

The fingerboard and peghead overlay and heel plate are vintage ebony and the neck is curly maple. There is plated brass at the end of the fingergoard. The nut and pip are carved from bone.

The frets are very close to the style of the pre 1900 banjos and are very thin width and crown. Modern banjos have generally much bulkier fretwire and do not look right on old banjos.

The tuners are geared new Gotohs with ivoroid buttons. The tailpiece is a no-knot style and the banjo is strung with Nylgut strings. The bridge is custom made.

The rim assembly is completely original and of high quality and in perfect working order. These model #24 Slingerland banjos were every bit as well made as Vega banjo rims, using precise tooling and well fitted and heavy hardware. The heavy tone ring hoop is steel rather than brass which I think sounds better, as well as the deeper rim. The rim is has a well fitting Fiberskyn head which sounds great.

I am repurposing these wonderful American antiques to give them new life for generations. These are heirloom instruments and will outlast your lifetime, and are built to resemble the style and craftsmanship of the vintage instruments built one hundred years ago.

This banjo has an amazingly powerful sound and very easy to play.

$1850...with Hard Shell Mandolin case
