he Zither Heaven 5-string banjo provides incredible value to anyone interested in learning to play. While reasonably priced to appeal to beginners and children, experienced musicians of all ages can appreciate the quality and solid construction typical in a Zither Heaven instrument.

The 5-string banjo features an 18-inch vibrating string length with an overall length of 25 inches. Using sustainable native North American hardwoods, the neck is made of solid hard maple with nylon frets and nylon strings. The open-back body is made of solid cherry with a Baltic birch skin. Zither pins are used for the tuning keys. The banjo includes a tuning wrench, song booklet, and pick. Launch date: February 2011.
