Late 19th Century 5-String Banjo by Old Mill Musical Instruments. The design (by Dr. Don Rickert) of this banjo is inspired by the actual 1870s fretted banjo pictured below.

Minstrel-Old Time Transitional Banjo

This very cool instrument will have several modern touches, necessary for allowing the use of steel strings if the player desires. It can also be strung with the more authentic lower tension gut (Nylgut) strings.

Summary of Features:

Maple or Neck
Headstock close the one pictured below.

Pegheds Violin-type planetary-geared tuning pegs...5th string peg in modern orientation (note: the internally geared tuners, which look EXACTLY like violin type pegs, are to necessary enable the use of steel strings, as well as making it MUCH easier to keep gut or Nylgut strings in tune)
PHUP1

A double-action truss rod (to accommodate the added tension of steel strings)
Metal frets
11" rim
