 Stelling Banjo Works

Since 1959, while still in high school, Geoff Stelling has been either playing the banjo or trying to improve on its design. Stelling Banjo Works was established in 1974. As a semi-professional banjo and bass player in various bluegrass bands since the mid-60's, Geoff developed an ear for banjo tone and experimented with the mechanics of banjo construction until he patented a revolutionary design that his banjos are famous for today: the wedge-fitted pot assembly. Stelling has also designed and patented a most useful "pivot-pin" tailpiece for the banjo, which allows for easily changing strings without having to thread any of them through a hole in the tailpiece. Other innovations include the Stelling bridge and a compensated nut to improve the sound and intonation of all Stelling banjos.
