{"product_id":"pisgah-tubaphone-fretless-11-short-scale-5-string-banjo-new-13247","title":"Pisgah Tubaphone Fretless 11\" Short Scale 5-String Banjo New","description":"The Pisgah Tubaphone combines a vintage-style tubaphone tone ring with a shorter string scale (25.5\", same as a modern steel string guitar like the OM or the Dreadnought.) The shorter scale not only makes for an easier-playing banjo with less fret stretch but also adds a more mellow tone, yet the tone ring lends a nice clarity. The dark stain to the maple combined with aged brass hardware keeps the glitter to a minimum. We ordered this one with a fretless fretboard  just in case you're thinking of going back to the earliest days of the banjo, back before those new-fangled metal frets made an appearance. The Richlite fretboard has a frailing scoop. A nice-looking, and sounding, banjo that won't break the bank.","brand":"Pisgah Banjo Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43150940242119,"sku":"PISTUB11FL-2548","price":2249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1114461.jpg?v=1780475919","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/pisgah-tubaphone-fretless-11-short-scale-5-string-banjo-new-13247","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
