Product Description
The Celt 19 Fret Banjo
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 (Nov 2024) 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 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.

Excellent banjo. Sound is very good and quality of the product received is also very good. No issues identified so far. Great service also from McNeela. Would definitely buy again from this supplier.

After several months of use, I did not want to launch a review until drawing definitive conclusions. I do not recommend this banjo, the feel and playability are poor, the strings, I don't know if it's because of the design, or because of the action (too high), they don't have the tension they should, it doesn't help to play fast and make triplets, out of tune notes even at the third fret, almost incorrigible by adjusting the bridge. The finishes are not good either, the rosewood of the neck is full of scratches where the inlays are. The sound, however, is well resonant and has a nice tone.

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.
