- Description
- View of the area of the tension band where the neck meets the banjo pot. The cut-out section in this photo is to accomodate the strings and to avoid them hitting the band. The tension band's primary job is to create and maintain tension on the banjo head. Stelling Banjo Works, Ltd is located in Heards, Virginia and is owned and operated by Geoff Stelling.
