Somerset S-1
Our flagship model is truly a musician’s banjo. The all American walnut
construction combined with premium hardware and careful hand fitting
endows the S-1 with a virtually limitless range. The S-1 was actually
designed around the amazing JLS #4 flat top tone ring. The
Somerset S-1 stands alone as the pinnacle of modern banjo
innovation and performance.
Somerset S-2
The Somerset S-2 gives top notch performance at a truly
affordable price. The three-ply 11" maple rim combined with a heavy all
brass tone ring, notched tension hoop and 24 top
quality bracket hooks delivers exceptional tone and volume up
and down the fingerboard.
Somerset S-3
The Somerset S-3 was inspired by scaled down banjos produced over one hundred years ago. The ten inch maple rim, 24" scale neck and hand fitted cocobolo rosewood tone ring combine to produce a full rich tone with plenty of volume. This is a perfect banjo for anyone who is looking for big performance in a smaller package.
The Somerset S-4 features a substantial twelve inch maple rim with 24 brackets complimented by a heavy all brass tone ring and a scooped fingerboard. The S-4 delivers the power, tone and responsiveness that you have been waiting for in a 12" openback.
The Somerset S-5 Minuteman was conceived and designed to stand firmly on the American ideals of teamwork, craftsmanship and quality. At only $599.00, the S-5 offers more value dollar for dollar than anything on the market right now.
