ZEPP Country Music, Inc.

The Chautauqua is only available in an 11-inch size, as this model uses a Silver Bell tone ring, which is only made in 11-inch size! This banjo is characterized by a clear, bright tone, and is ideal for melodic play.

List price is $2850 for the Vintage, model and the one shown is Now in Stock. A gigbag or a hardshell case is available, of course.

	This particular banjo is maple, with a rich brown stain.			The "Texas" scooped ebony fingerboard has Chuck's distinctive offset abalone dot position markers.
	The distinctively shaped peghead has an equally distinctive abalone inlay in its ebony headstock overlay.			As on all of Chuck's Vintage series banjos, the tuners (including the 5th string tuner) are PegHeds brand 4:1 planetaries, masking as fiddle-style friction tuners.
	The 11-inch, 2-ply maple pot is fitted with a Silver Bell tone ring, which produces a very clear and bright tone, most like that of a Tu-Ba-Phone to my ears.			It comes set up with a No-Knot tailpiece and a Renaissance brand head. I love the sound of this instrument!
