Short Neck 5 String, 17 Fret Banjo; Based on the piccolo banjo of the late 1800's Banjo Clubs, this instrument has a standard 11 inch head, open back mahogany rim, 18 tuning lugs, and a 17 fret neck that is only 12-1/2 inches long. With its shorter scale, this banjo will tune to open C, CGCEG, as if it were a G tuned banjo capo'd at the fifth fret.
