![]() Folk of the Wood presents The Saga Banjo Introduction Saga Banjos This design has stood the test of time, having been first used on the Mastertone Banjos of the Gibson Mandolin Guitar Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Saga Style III Banjo was designed for the advanced student or professional. The Saga Old Time Banjos are reminiscent of the classic banjos produced by S.S. Stewart in Philadelphia over one hundred years ago. Saga has incorporated a slightly heavier maple rim with a rolled brass tone ring to produce an instrument retaining the traditional look and feel of banjos produced in that Golden Age. In the last century, banjos were parlor instruments strung with gut. The heavier rim design along with planetary pegs and a geared fifth peg were added to compensate for the increased tension and torque of modern steel strings. These banjos are certain to become universal favorites. |
