AP Toman Long Neck 5 String Banjo
Description
AP Toman long neck banjo, made by the Toman brothers from Lurgan.
I believe this is the only long neck they have ever made, certainly never heard of another myself.
This one is made from reclaimed timber sourced from the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast.
Beautiful hand made instrument with a great tone, lovely action, and superb playability.
The same style of banjo played by the great Luke Kelly
Perfect for backing folk music, with the additional frets giving a lower tuning to E, rather than the standard scale 5 string in G.
Can also be used as a standard 5 string by adding a capo to the 3rd fret.
Comes with railway spikes on the 10th, 12th, 13th, and 15th frets, OR on the 7th, 9th, 10th, and 12th if using with capo on the 3rd for normal bluegrass tuning.
Also has a Shubb long sliding 5th string Capo fit, so can be easily capoed on any fret.

Hi, unfortunately not looking for trades.
Have 4 tenors as it is, if I bring another home, she'll murder me.
Has a rigid foam case that has had a diy adaptation to fit it.
Cases for the long necks are hard to come by.
Yeah, I live just outside Kells, but I'm in Ballymount in Dublin Monday to Friday during the day as well for work.
Give me a day or two notice and can arrange whichever of those location is handiest for you.
Sounds good, I'm at a wedding next weekend in Kilkenny so won't be at home, but if suits I could bring it with me there and save you a few hours driving.
Sure let me know how you're fixed.
No rush on it.
Perfect.
It does indeed, has a rolled brass tone ring, similar to most old style open backs
No problem Dave.
If its any help, I could meet you in Newbridge.
No worries leaving it until next week either.
Whatever suits you
