| Every
aspect of a Nechville banjo has been designed for acoustical
superiority, convenience, comfort and aesthetics. You'll benefit from the
finely crafted details and artistic approach that goes into all Nechville
instruments, and you'll have plenty reasons for pride when owning an
Orion. As you take the Nechville Orion
into your grasp your attentiveness becomes focused on musical execution. The
design and feel of the Orion will inspire your best playing. Your left hand
slides smoothly and effortlessly over the fancy maple and ebony neck. You
feel the comfort and sleekness of the polished frets, and you realize that
the silky smooth and solid feel of your ORION is just the beginning of the
magic.
The 7 to 12" compound radius of the fret board provides
the comfort and quality that offers you noting accuracy and clarity of tone.
This dynamic shape gives you the slimmest feel with maximum structural
integrity for strength of tone. Not only is it easier to form chords and
other left hand positions, but you also get clean distinctive and full
bodied musical notes. You'll clearly hear the difference when you notice the
total absence of sonic interference that is ever present in other
traditional banjos. The Orion's slightly wider profile gives you
plenty of room for chokes and slides. Extra wide frets form a secure
foundation for the strings' anchor point on the fret board while giving you
longer-lasting frets. You'll gain inspiration from the artistic Antler theme
Inlay. These features add up to equal incredible musical power from every
note played on the Orion.
Nechville has created the Orion Heli-Mount that blends traditional banjo
inlay art and design with the ultimate banjo pot design.
The neck starts with premium Maple and is fashioned the
old way, by hand. The fingerboard is real ebony. The inlay is a work of art
depicting the shapes of antlers.
In Nechville's quest for uncommonly great sound and function, we have
incorporated the time-tested combination of a bell bronze, pre-war style
tone ring with a three-ply hard rock maple steam bent rim. Nechville
coaxes every bit of tone from its own proprietary ring by machining the rim
to acoustically superior dimensions and capping it with a stainless steel
mounting ring. Unique "Cyclotronic tone spheres," roll on top of this
ring, beneath the tone ring. This allows easy, quick head adjustment and
mounting the tone ring without the dampening effect inherent in other
designs as well as unrestricted resonance and beauty of tone.
