The Celt Banjo 19 Fret
Due to its performance and ease of play this is by far the most popular tenor banjo amongst our traditional Irish music students and intermediate customers.
The McNeela Celt Banjo has recently been upgraded (January 2023) for an even better playing experience:
What’s New? We’ve added planetary tuners for faster tuning mid-play; planetary tuners provide even tension while turning smoothly. We’ve also upgraded the rim to wood for richer acoustics and a more premium look.
The Celt 2 Banjo is a 4-string tenor banjo (19 Fret) made by McNeela Instruments. It's a closed back 24 bracket banjo with excellent traditional tone.

Most importantly, it has a whacking low G -a strong top string that all traditional Irish music playing demands.

I wanted a great quality banjo for my first one. I am only going to play for fun so I wanted one that would be good for the rest of my life. I am so pleased with this banjo. The craftsmanship is incredible. Solid and heavier than expected. I am so pleased.

Only had the banjo for a few weeks but seems really good especially at the very reasonable price. Certainly far better quality than the similar priced banjos available from major instrument retailers in Canada. This banjo was obviously not just slapped together in some factory in the far east. Speedy and low cost delivery and was well packed to resist postal service damage.
