The heartland five-string country and bluegrass banjo comes with carefully selected picking and strumming string gauges for that bright country sound, this affordable 5 string banjo has mahogany finished body and neck, with an aluminium pot, and standard tuners. Remo's head is used on this banjo. It has a scale length of 670mm with 29mm nut width. Comes with a detachable resonator. Standard Recommended tuning for this instrument is (G, D, G, B, D).
The fifth string on a 5 String Folk and Bluegrass Banjo is usually the same gauge as the first string, as it starts from the fifth fret it is only three-quarters the length of the other strings. This allows the string to be tuned to a higher open pitch than possible for the full-length strings.
The string pitches on the Bluegrass Banjo don't proceed from lowest to highest across the fingerboard. Instead, the fourth string is the lowest, and then the third, second, first, and fifth string is the highest.
