Saga Banjos
Legendary banjos for the legendary musician!
The Saga Style III Banjo features a rim design inspired by the
instruments of William Lange in the early 1900s and the banjos
produced by the Ode Banjo Company in the 1960s. Saga intro-
duced this unique flathead design in the late 1970s, incorporating
a cast hard-alloy rim with an integral, buttressed tone ring. The
result is an amazing clarity of tone in all registers as well as the
quick attack and rapid decay that pickers expect in a professional
quality flathead banjo. The P-11 heavy-duty, grooved, tension
hoop is machined from solid brass, polished, and triple nickel-
plated. This design has stood the test of time, having been first
used on the Mastertone Banjos of the Gibson Mandolin Guitar
Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Saga Style III Banjo was
designed for the advanced student or professional.
The Saga Old Time Banjos are reminiscent of the classic banjos
produced by S.S. Stewart in Philadelphia over one hundred
years ago. Saga has incorporated a slightly heavier maple rim
with a rolled brass tone ring to produce an instrument retaining
the traditional look and feel of banjos produced in that Golden
Age. In the last century, banjos were parlor instruments strung
with gut. The heavier rim design along with planetary pegs and
a geared fifth peg were added to compensate for the increased
tension and torque of modern steel strings. These banjos are
certain to become universal favorites.
