Overview

Vintage looks and feel at a modern, budget-friendly price.

The Recording King Dirty 30s Tenor Banjo brings 100 years of history into the present, road-ready vibe of the Dirty 30s line. The tenor banjo first came to prominence in the early 1900s, and its C-G-D-A tuning is especially well-suited for folk, Celtic and Dixieland music. The tenor is a unique banjo for players looking to add a traditional vibe to their sound, and the perfect crossover instrument for mandolin, violin, viola and cello players.

The Dirty 30s Tenor Banjo has the same road-ready styling as the rest of the Dirty 30s guitars and banjos. The narrow 19-fret neck is a pleasure to hold, and the 23" scale delivers the perfect combination of feel and crisp clarity. The open-back rim features 16 brackets holding down a Remo Fiberskyn head for the classic period-correct tenor sound.
