#3620 – Pisgah 11″ Wonder – Curly Maple with Historic Little Wonder Tone Ring (25.5″ Scale)

Description

The Pisgah 11″ Wonder is a modern classic, blending time-honored craftsmanship with the sweet, articulate tone that defines Old-Time music. Featuring a 25.5″ scale and an 11″ steam-bent rim, this banjo delivers exceptional clarity and response—perfect for melodic clawhammer playing and nuanced backup work.

Built from highly figured curly maple, the neck and rim showcase striking visual depth, with natural flame and shimmer that dances in the light. The wood is not just beautiful—maple is renowned for its bright, punchy tone and solid projection.

At the heart of the instrument lies the historic Little Wonder tone ring, a faithful recreation of the classic design that added snap and presence to countless vintage banjos. This tone ring offers a balanced tone: crisp highs, warm lows, and just the right amount of sustain.

A thumb rest neck profile enhances playability for clawhammer stylists, while a two-way adjustable truss rod ensures long-term neck stability. The banjo is finished with a Renaissance head for warm, clear tonal response, and a frailing-style tension hoop allowing more room and comfort for frailing and clawhammer styles

Whether you’re a session regular or a porch picker, the 11″ Wonder is a versatile, inspiring companion that brings tradition forward with grace.
