Abstract
A travel banjo optimized for sound quality, portablity and ruggedness. The neck, fingerboard and string scale are identical to a regular banjo. The neck is attached to the body with a thumbscrew. The body consists of a front and back plate which are fastened together mechanically. A commercial drum head is tensioned by the force of the front and back plates being drawn together, applying pressure to the head and the tone ring. A string clamp is attached by a thumbscrew to retain the strings and bridge in when the neck is removed. The strings are attached to string posts at the end of the neck travelling over the bridge to a set of rollers, which redirect the string path to the rear where the tuning mechanisms are mounted in a protected area. The head and bridge are similar to a regular banjo to provide an authentic banjo sound.
