Colby Banjo String Tailpiece

Federleichtes Banjotailpiece aus Aluminium

Made in USA

PETER COLBY (1937? - 1988)

was a trained gunsmith and

Banjo & Autoharp Player and Builder in the Boston/NewEngland Area.

He modified the Van Eps design for his personal 5 String Banjo.

By 1970 he made at least one other for Mary Faith

which has been faithfully reproduced here

for Breezy Ridge® by Pennsylvania Craftsmen.

The perfect combination of Beauty & Functionality,

the ColbyT presses the strings down toward the banjo head

while stretching them almost to the width of the bridge.

It creates a greater angle of the strings against the bridge

for better sound and stability.
