Rover RB-20P Open Back Plectrum Banjo

About this banjo

There’s a banjo band in the Pizza Parlor near you–go on down and see how much fun it is to play the four-string banjo! If you’re new to the joys of the four-string, there’s no better place to start than a Rover RB-20P Plectrum banjo. The RB-20P is an open-back banjo with a modern composite rim–light and easy to carry–and a professionally styled neck designed for fast and easy playing. The long, 26 3/8-inch scale in the Plectrum tuning makes close harmony chords a breeze. Learning the banjo has never been so fun–or affordable!

Bonuses When You Order From Banjo.com

• 5th String Railroad Spike Capos – FREE
  We can add these as a free service when you purchase a banjo from us. When you add this banjo to your cart just select that you want the capos. What is this? When you use a standard capo on your banjo fretboard, fretting strings 1 through 4, you’ll need to capo the 5th string separately. The 5th string starts at the 5th fret. If your standard capo is on the 2nd fret, you also need to capo the 5th string two frets higher, at the 7th fret. We recommend installing railroad spike capos on frets 7 and 9 (A and B). We install them on the fretboard just under the 5th string, an idea that was developed and used by Earl Scruggs himself. We use them, and so do most of the professional players we know. When you’re playing, you don’t really notice the spikes because they’re out of the way, but they’re always there when you need them. Simply slide the 5th string under the spike. When you’re done, slide it out.
• Bluegrass or Clawhammer Starter Pack – FREE
  We can send along with your banjo a Bluegrass or Clawhammer Starter Pack for free. This includes a strap, DVD, and tuner and picks.
