Griffen instruments ome banjo3/21/2024 I matched the finish of the original neck and used the original inlays. The owner wanted to preserve the original instrument as much as possible but copy the original neck details making it into a five string banjo. This Vega Tubaphone was sent to me as a complete Vegaphone with a beautiful original tenor neck. You can hear her playing it with Bruce Molky’s “ Molsky’s Mountain Drifters” as well as her other duo with Tatiana Hargreaves. This banjo is owned by the talented Allison De Groot. It’s simple but elegant inlays and overall design has a vintage inspired look while adding modern play ability and durability. The Dobson Special utilizes a Dobson tone ring mounted on a rolled brass ring to isolate the tone ring from the wooden rim giving it a unique and powerful Dobson sound with more balanced and a crisp overall tone. This banjo has a powerful well rounded tone unique to the Dobson Special with a comfortable neck profile ideal for all hand sizes and comfort while playing all over the neck. This is a variation of the Seeders Style 3 Dobson Special made with Curly Maple.
