Stelling Bellflower Banjo

 Stelling Bellflower Banjo

Just in, a new Stelling Bellflower banjo! Here we have another superb example of Geoff Stelling’s craftsmanship.

Based on the very successful Stelling Bellflower Banjo , the Stelling Sunflower banjo features AAA-grade flame maple construction rather than Virginia Black Walnut; this provides a somewhat brighter tone with a more defined attack. The shaded ‘Cremona’ style sunburst finish pairs very well with the flamed maple.
