Perhaps you are still digesting
Nechville's Heli-Mount - what many consider to be the most
innovative redesign the banjo has ever seen. Now Nechville is reaching
out to all lovers of the traditional banjo pot design and introducing
the next phase of development in the evolution of the banjo: The
Trans-Tone Banjo!
The central coupling
mechanism between a modern Nechville neck and a historic design pot is
called the Nechville Flux Capacitor. Having uncovered the secret
of banjo time transport, mad banjo scientist Nechville says, "This is
the biggest breakthrough since time began for banjoists! Now you are
able to transport yourselves back to 1937, bringing along your favorite
adjustable Nechville neck to hook up with your favorite banjo pot
of yesteryear."
The crucial Flux
element enables the full-function of a Nechville banjo neck on Pre-War
style banjo pots, and virtually all other banjo pots for that matter.
It has long been a
problem with traditional banjos that they are not adjustable. Even if
you are lucky enough to have a working truss rod, there is never enough
adjustability to use a tight head with a high bridge (a setup preferred
by top players). Nechville necks not only have two-way stainless steel
adjustment inside the neck, but feature an exclusive mounting system,
giving infinite adjustability to the height of the strings to
accommodate all styles of play and all bridge heights. The key to the
quick-cam is a rounded interface between the end of the neck and the
radiused portion of Nechville's Heli-Mount frame. A single Allen
screw fastens the neck and body with maximum surface area, producing a
super solid and stable, yet adjustable, neck mount.
Until now this useful
feature was only available on Heli-Mount banjos. Now, Nechville's
Flux Capacitor is the breakthrough component making the marriage
of timescapes possible!
Hardware used since the
1920s to hold a banjo neck to a body and keep the banjo pot round are
called coordinator rods. While they are not employed on a Heli-Mount
banjo, they are crucial to the stable connection of a narrow neck to a
heavy banjo body. In the case of Nechville's Historic Hybrid Banjo,
the Flux Capacitor is firmly connected on the outside of the
traditional pot to the existing coordinator rods. The Flux Capacitor
therefore integrates with the pot assembly - becoming your time
traveling vehicle!
The final alteration of time and space
occurs at the instant of merging the Flux Capacitor with the
elegantly engineered Nechville neck. The perfect mating surface of the
Flux Capacitor matches the neck's, and when they make contact,
dig out your vintage picks and 1942 hat - and watch out! To get back to
the future, simply loosen the single Allen screw and replace your neck
on your trusty Heli-Mount frame.
