Introducing Earth's lightest professional resonator banjo.

Defy Gravity

The Athena is light and elegant. Its Timber-Tronic tone ring sounds brilliant and reduces the total weight by nearly twenty five percent. While the wood ring is standard, Nechville Pro Bronze and Hybrid tone rings are also possible. The neck width is 1.22" at the nut, just a hair narrower than most Nechvilles.
