Top of the range (almost new) Emerald Paragon 19 fret tenor banjo made by the famous Irish banjo company Emerald. This is the gold version of our ultimate Paragon banjo. It has a sound you can only dream about. It’s made in black American walnut throughout, exquisitely finished. And everything about it is perfection itself, including the sound and the action. It’s also like eye candy, but it’s not bling, it’s the ultimate banjo for stage or session. It’s also totally unique to Emerald banjos. 23” scale. Grooved tension hoop.

I am selling the banjo on behalf of a friend based in Canada where the banjo currently is and can be posted to its new owner at a low cost. The banjo has recently been fitted with a renaissance head and sounds amazing. The asking price is US $3500 which works out around £2750 or 3040 euros. Please contact the owner by the email below.
