Steinberger NS CR5 Electric Cello 5 String Amber, 2015

On March 27, 2019 /

NS Designs, founded by Ned Steinberger, develops innovative instruments like the Steinberger NS CR5 Electric Cello – in 4,5, and 6 string versions, extending the possibilities of acoustic instruments previously used only in concert halls.Previously we’ve reviewed an NS CR Series ‘Upright Bass’, and unsurprisingly there are a number of similarities between that and the CR5 Electric Cello. The construction style is almost identical, with a compact Rock Maple body and set Maple neck, with a traditional hand-graduated Ebony fingerboard.

This unusual item from Lame Horse instruments in Austin, Texas – a Gitjo, their version of the six-string banjo, is for guitarists who need the tonality of the banjo but fingering and chord structure of a guitar. This example dates to 2009 and is an early one-off creation, not a production model.

Deering Golden Era 5-String Banjo, 2004

On March 25, 2019 /

The Deering Golden Era 5-String Banjo draws from the heritage of traditional bluegrass banjos, and delivers the tone and look of the classic instruments. Built during 2004 at the Deering shop in Spring Valley, California, this Golden Era is in good condition and has been cleaned and set up at The Twelfth Fret by Anne Hartman. We’ve replaced the head and installed a Presto tailpiece. The dark stain shaded finish really sets off the flame Maple used for the resonator and neck.

The cover-plate is steel, and is hand-painted to match the colour tone of the top woods.
