Скачать или смотреть 1926 Vega Style N Tu-Ba-Phone Played by Hilary Hawke // SOUND CHECK

Our friend Hilary Hawke ‪@hilarybanjo‬ playing "Little Liza Jane" on a now sold Vega Style N Tu-Ba-Phone banjo from 1926, featuring a 5 string conversion neck by the beloved banjo magician Bart Reiter.

This is a fine-sounding and playing openback 5-string banjo, a conversion built on the rim of a mid-1920s Vega Tu-Ba-Phone Style N tenor. This model was the less ornamented of the instruments fitted with this fanciest of Vega tone rings, and the newer neck by esteemed maker Bart Reiter hews to that more restrained aesthetic. The 10 7/8" rim has the standard Tu-Ba-Phone features with the bracket band around the outer edge and the elaborate tone ring built on a hollow brass tube. This Style N has a smaller rim than some typical conversion banjos, giving it a slightly brighter sound.

This is sold, but we have a few other gems from Bart Reiter currently in stock: https://www.retrofret.com/search.asp?...
