Banjo Studio is proud to be a Pisgah dealer. You are viewing the actual banjo that you'll be purchasing.
This custom Pisgah Tubaphone was handmade by Pisgah Banjo Co. in Asheville, North Carolina, and built with our Banjo Studio tweaks. The Tubaphone is Pisgah's take on the classic Vega Tubaphone, with a brass tube tone ring that Pisgah makes in house. Big, round and punchy with plenty of growl: the Tubaphone gives each note a clear ring and sustain, the goat skin head adds rustic old-time character, and the 12" curly maple rim fills in a deep, full low end.
