This openback banjo has a great sound, and lends itself well to clawhammer and three finger picking styles. It features a walnut neck with a hand rubbed oil finish, and a block rim/tone ring, with a built-in wooden flange. When Nechville introduced the Atlas, we wrote the review for Banjo Newsletter. If interested in reading what we wrote, just email us. Removable Dowel Stick - For muting the head if desired. Exotic Wood Cap Tone Ring -Lightweight and great sounding. Partial Thumb Scoop.
A CLAWHAMMER DREAM!
Take the weight of the world off your shoulders. The Atlas is ultra light (around six pounds), sounds great and is a joy to play. Its design was a Nechville-Sagmoen collaboration and echos the Ashborn Banjos of the 1860s. Modern Nechville innovations make the Atlas the most advanced traditional openback to date.
