Nashville Banjo Company Cumberland 12" Open Back Banjo 2024 w/Padded Gig Bag, Materials

Like an old river gliding through family farmland, the Cumberland banjo echos with a smooth and memorable tone. The larger 12-inch rim produces a deeper, warmer song, and the integral tone ring lends a distinct sense of wood and air to its melody. Another great all-purpose banjo, but particularly suited to players whose favorite audience is themselves and a still afternoon.

Fitted with a select goatskin head, the warmth and breathy flavor of the Cumberland is very distinctive.
