An Introduction to Nechville Banjos

In the 1980s in a garage somewhere near Nashville, TN, a banjo maker named Tom Nechville was hard at work perfecting his innovative banjo designs. Out of this intense focus on building sonically superior banjos, Tom won several patents including one for Helical mounted or Heli-mount banjos. He’s even credited with starting the newest trend in banjos known as Flex-Tones. American ingenuity at its best.

Best selection of Nechville banjos

Nechville’s comfortable playability is hard to beat. With the best selling Atlas you will see comfort features in the portable neck and wooden armrest. The Renaissance head gives this banjo an organic, mellow tone with a big sound that is one you have to hear and play for yourself to believe.
 
The news banjo to the line-up is the more moderately priced Nechville Comet. You can get the same quality electric banjo that celebrity performers are playing but at an affordable price. The Comet is lightweight and easy to plug right in to achieve the volume banjo performers need and want.
 
Most of the Nechville banjos are surprisingly lightweight but the Nechville Zeus is most surprising because of its many special features and premium sound and appearance. You’ll be inspired but not distracted by the understated beauty of the Saturn and Stars inlay and the woody, clear sound of this banjo.
