Скачать или смотреть 1923 Vega Tu-Ba-Phone #9 played by Hubby Jenkins // SOUND CHECK

Nothing like a little good old fashioned banjo shredding with friend of the shop, the delightful ‪@hubbyjenkins7407‬ ! Hubby plays a 1923 Vega Tu-Ba-Phone #9 open back banjo.

This banjo is a truly beautiful example of pretty much the most desired of all openback 5-strings: the Fairbanks/Vega Tu-Ba-Phone #9. While not the absolute pinnacle of the Fairbanks/Vega line, the #9 is generally considered the standard by which any similar instrument is judged; this has been true for well over 100 years! This instrument is built on an 11" diameter rim with a 27" scale neck, pretty much the favored pattern for openback banjos since. Its produces a wonderful sound that few other banjos, new or old, can match. While many builders have emulated these original 100+ year old Fairbanks designs over the last 50+ years, only a few have come close to really matching them.
