13" traditional

I've been making 13" banjos for years now, but this is the first one that I've made specifically as a "cello banjo".
S.S. Stewart originally marketed the cello banjo as tuned an octave lower over a 16" pot, 3" deep. We've found that 13" pot with a
longer 26.250" scale length fits very well to create the deep voicing of a cello banjo.
This one was custom set up to be played with thick flatwound strings, well suited for lower tunings.
