Armrests

Our armrests are incredibly comfortable. We build them to stay that way. That's why they're made out of raw, exotic hardwood. No stain or finish to rub off on your arm or become sticky. Beautiful natural colors and grain look great on any banjo, regardless of wood type.

We make them for 11 and 12 inch banjos. They are compatible with conventional (hook and nut style) banjos, as well as Nechville's patented Heli-Mount banjos. Our 12 inch is slim and provides the perfect comfort for its radius.

Note: Our current production armrests are made out of exotic hardwoods as noted aboved. We don't stain them (stain will rub off) but we do polish them. The natural color of the armrest wood is a perfect comprimise between the finished colors of the domestic woods we use for our necks. They are as durable as metal armrests but match better and are way more comfortable. The armrest you receive will look close to the photos above.

These may not be compatible with banjos with hooks that stand very proud of the tension hoop, however we've been notified they do work with 'Cobra' style hooks. If you have a notched tension hoop you're good to go. See installation note below.

Installation

Installation is dead simple. Loosen the Z clips and swing them over the head as shown and tighten until snug. Even if you don't have a Nechville (yet), this same method applies.

The Enterprise Bridge

The Enterprise banjo bridge combines the best aspects of every professional bridge into one guaranteed bridge. You may have tested identical-looking bridges and wondered why there are sometimes big differences in tone between them. Look at the features that effect tone, features that make for easier playability, and features that are good ideas from the structural and functional standpoint. The most distinctive Enterprise feature is its uniquely curved top edge. This shape is hand sanded into each bridge to provide accurate scale length compensation and optimal playability for medium and light gauge string sets.

Banjo Parts

Amplification

As the music of the banjo unfolds and expands, so do the needs of its players. "Plugging in" is a double edged sword. It gives players a lot of freedom. It also changes how the instrument sounds.

We've spent countless hours chasing the dragon of perfect plugged in acoustic tone. The Warp Drive is the most accurate we've heard, since it combines the two most ubiquitous pickup types to date. But there are many factors including preamps/DIs, amp, mixers, plugins, pedals, EQ, you name it. We've found some combinations work extraordinarily well and give players a lot of control and options over their sound. Others are straight to the point and more economical.

No matter your goals or experience, Nechville can help get you started or finish your professional rig. We have relationships with many professional audio equipment manufactures. Save with a custom tailored amplification package from Nechville. Give us a call and see what we can do.

Shubb Radiused Capo

The polished nickel Shubb C5-r is the perfect companion for your radiused Nechville neck. Shubb custom bends these to match our radius. It can be conveniently stored between a couple "ribs" of the Heli-Mount frame.

Note: Capos may or may not come with "blister pack" packaging (packed for lowest cost shipping).
