As beautiful and elegant as its mythical namesake, as
you pick it up you notice that the Athena is amazingly lightweight. The
radiused neck is sleek and comfortable, with its Heart Blossom inlay
sparkling in abalone and pearl. The walnut neck and curly maple
binding tell you this work of the highest quality, but as light as it
is, you wonder how it sounds?
You play your first notes, expecting the sound you
have heard from other lightweight banjos. But no, this is the sound all
banjos should have--- rich, full, powerful! It is as if the banjo
doesn't know its lighter than it is. But you know. And so does your
back.
You see that the Nechville inline tailpiece is adjustable three
different ways, and you remember that this is a Heli-Mount, customizable
for any style or setup. You've heard how stable and versatile the
Heli-Mount is, and now are struck by its simple elegant beauty.
As you gaze at the back of the neck and the resonator,
note the superior Nechville craftsmanship and finish.
