EUCALYPT 6 STRING
BANJOS
Only $2,640 Australian Dollars incl GST
($2400.00 AUD for overseas purchasers)
Identical in every way to our 4 and 5 string
resonator banjos this instrument offers tremendous scope for
the guitarists amongst you. You get the banjo sound using your
guitar techniques and tunings. Great for flat picking, backup,
jazz, Dixie, blues and maybe a bit of fun in a rock
band.

Here's the back side of the peg
head showing the Gotoh machine heads. |
A back view of a Eucalypt 6 string
banjo. The neck is Queensland Maple with Jarrah
stripe and the resonator is Maple burl. The two
inlayed gum leaves and centre strip are standard. |
The front of the peg head. The
Eucalypt logo is inlayed in pearl into the PNG ebony
veneers. |
All the usual Eucalypt Banjo
goodies come with our 6 string banjos, the D'Aguilar Bell tone ring, all
Australian timbers, Gotoh 12:1 machine heads, spare strings,
strap, hard case and a lifetime guarantee.
Here's what one
Eucalypt 6 string banjo owner, a full time professional
musician, has to say:-
"....played
at the pub again today to rave reviews of the older guys who
have heard banjo players for years of all descriptions. It
carries well throughout the band to the back of the pub ( if
you need to) so you can't ask for more than that and it's not
harsh when you play it hard ....It'll be a pleasure to rave
about your banjo to the guys over there it's a
lovely instrument, regards, David"

ALL EUCALYPT BANJOS ARE STILL
BUILT BY HAND! |
|
The vast majority of the work going into
a Eucalypt Banjo is still done by hand, the good old
fashioned way.
Although we have the usual machinery
such as lathes and bandsaws much of the work is still
done by hand.
I'm very much a fan of vintage hand
tools and am slowly building up a collection of them as
I see them for sale. You can see a 60 year old
multi-plane in use on the 'Making our banjos' page. This
is still used to cut the groove for the truss rod and,
may I say, it works superbly.
Finally, here's Angela
trying out her Eucalypt 6 string banjo the day she came
to collect it.
