Stelling

The Crusader is made from mahogany and has nickel-plated metal parts. Its sound is both dynamic, mellow and exceedingly smooth (lacking stridency) and produces punch and power in all registers. This banjo, like all new Stellings, features the Tony Pass 600TS Old Wood Rim (preserved under pressure for hundreds of years beneath the big lake they call Gitchigumi, or some other lake) and housed in a deluxe TKL emerald green crushed velvet plush lined case.

By slightly modifying and adding to the Bellflower inlay pattern, and making the neck and resonator out of curly maple instead of walnut, we've created the Sunflower. The shaded, Cremona style "sunburst" staining on this model is very popular and highlights the quality of the wood used.  Includes a Tony Pass 600TS Old Wood Rim and a deluxe TKL emerald green crushed velvet plush lined case.

One of Stelling’s more recently introduced models, inspired by master banjoist Bill Emerson, the Red Fox has outsold every other model since its introduction in 1996. Although new models tend to do that, Stelling thinks that this model will join the Staghorn in the banjo hit parade because of its universal appeal and acceptance as a classic banjo design. The fancy curly maple used in this model is enhanced by its reddish stain. The many-colored Red Fox in the peghead and the abalone maple leaves in the fingerboard help to make this striking and seductive.
