Stelling- Tension Band
This is an "inside" view of the tension band and shows where the band was affixed (welded?) together. This inside part is not visible in the assembled banjo because it surrounds the banjo head. 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.- Creator

Stelling- Tension Band
The banjo hooks hold onto the tension band. To accomodate the 24 hooks, and to increase the stability of the system, this band has 24 indentations machined into it. Note the downward angle of the indentations and how they match the angle of the hook part of the banjo hooks. This is a very stable design. 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.- Creator

Stelling- Tone Ring

Stelling- Tone Ring
Stelling banjos have what is known as the Wedge-Fitted Pot Assembly. What that means is the upper section of the wooden rim and lower section of the metal tone ring fit together as if two wedges were stacked on top of each other so that they made a square. In other words, if you drew a square and then drew a diagonal line through that square, the bottom part would represent the rim and the top part would represent the tone ring. This photograph shows that the metal tone ring is bevelled, the part on the left of this photograph would touch the head and the part on the right would sit on the wooden rim.

Stelling- Tailpiece
The Stelling Pivot-Pin Tailpiece is held in place against the tension band mostly by the pressure of the strings. The tension band has two very small indentions to keep the tailpiece straight but generally, only string pressure keeps it in place. The tailpiece can be adjusted by three screws that are used to increase the distance between the tension band and the tailpiece. Strings attach at the screws at the back of the tailpiece, run over the top and then are pushed under the metal tabs (shown in this photo) to apply downward pressure on the strings, which in turn apply downward pressure on the bridge.

Stelling- Wrench
Standard .25 inch wrench used to tighten the head on a Stelling banjo. The head is tightened by adjusting 24 hooks and nuts installed around the rim of the banjo and hooked onto a metal tension band that holds the head in place. Tightening the nuts on the hooks squeezes the tension band and this in turn tightens the banjo head.
