ABSTRACT:
A neck and tailpiece are detachable together with the strings from the body of a banjo for storage and transportation. The banjo can easily be reassembled with very little adjustment. The strings pass through holes in a nut and in a bridge removable with the strings. The neck is attached by screws passing through a heel thereon. Adjustable members are provided for initially setting the angle of the neck relatively to the body. The tailpiece has a screw device that reacts against a slotted bracket. The body comprises a hoop reinforced by an L-shaped flange member.
