After nearly 2 years of experimenting and design revision, I have finally completed the new Tranjo Express IIID travel banjo. Like the previous Express models, the neck is hard maple with a 2-way truss rod, mounted on an extruded aluminum support bar. All the rest of the body parts including the head, tuner mounting plate and armrest, neck support, and even the bridge are completely 3D printed. The tuners are string locking 18:1 ratio guitar tuners. The new model also includes an integrated storage compartment and floor stand. And of course you can remove the full scale neck and fit it into a carry-on suitcase. Tranjo Express IIID information
Many thanks to Rich Stillman for the encouragement and support during this project, and for playing on the video.
What a neat idea! Sounded pretty good, too. If I was still traveling, I'd have to have one of those.
This is super neat!
Looks cool Sam!
Just ordered one and I'm super excited to try it out! Cool idea!
Great idea and implementation, sounds terrific too. ????????
Finally, great work.
