Tanglewood have worked tirelessly to acquire their worthy reputation as master of their craft, and the TWB 18 M5 5 String Banjo is a shining example of what they are capable of.
Superb craftsmanship
Tanglewood spared no expense in the design and build of the TWB, employing high grade maple, the most resilient and refined appointments, and marrying everything together into a single harmonious composition. Tanglewood didn't just strive to make a model that looks good though, focusing their efforts towards integrity of tone with drive and projection to match - a winning combination that all players seek. In order to achieve this, maple has been employed throughout the build of this model. Highly regarded due to its efficient resonant properties that allow it to generate excellent projection with full bodied tone.
The resonator is also crafted from maple, as is the shell. Reinforcing the power and projection are the 18 brackets upholding with absolute assurance. As this beauty ages, the resonator is only going to sound better and better as it develops an enriched character.
Comfortable maple neck
Fitted to the body is a smooth maple neck, which yields a sumptuous playing feel that is backed by resilience and strength. Not matter how long your session may last, comfort is guaranteed. Married to the neck is a divine rosewood fingerboard, which offers up 22 frets that are decorated with clean "dot" position inlays to guide your way in style.
