Pasadena BJ-103 Bandžo

BJ-103 is a 4-string banjo with a high-quality drum head that produces a bright, resonant sound. Players can combine string picking with drumhead striking for a distinctive percussion-melody effect. The lacquered finish protects the wood and enhances the visual appeal of the instrument.

4-String Configuration

The 4-string layout of the BJ-103 is favoured in jazz, Dixieland, Celtic and Irish music styles. The shorter scale and four-string setup makes it accessible for players transitioning from other string instruments, particularly tenor guitarists and violinists.

High-Quality Drum Head

The drum head produces the characteristic bright, punchy banjo tone with strong projection. Players can also strike the head percussively alongside string playing for an expressive performance effect.

Lacquered Finish

The lacquered wooden components protect the instrument from humidity and minor impacts while providing a polished appearance. The smooth finish also adds subtle visual depth to the natural wood grain.
