Description
This Gourd banjo is made from what they call a tall Gourd. They grow in all different sizes and shapes from real tall to more squashed. This one is 11 1/2″ inches in length , 7 1/2″ at the widest point and 5″ deep at the deepest point. The sound is similar to a kettle gourd because of the amount of air volume…..so, just a different approach. This guy does come with a strap because it would be difficult to hold without it.
