Old-Time Wire Armrest


Read 5 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Available again at last, one of the most sought-after armrests for traditional open-back banjos. This versatile early Vega-style armrest brings welcome relief from the uncomfortable edge of the tension hoop, while giving your banjo that great old-time look. Helps preserve the plating on the hoop, and saves wear at the edge of skin banjo heads, too. It fits 11"-diameter open-back banjos that use bracket shoes, and can be gently bent to fit 12" rims. Easy to install—the feet are threaded for height adjustment, and swivel to fit most bracket hook spacings.

No More Sore Arm

I recently bought a wire armrest to add to my 1890's Cole Eclipse. It was easy to install and adjust, has a great period look and makes the instrument MUCH more comfortable to play. I highly recommend this piece to anyone without an armrest on their banjo.

terrific armrest, great price

I bought three and fitted them, without a hitch, to a 10", 11", and 13" rim. I'd pay (and have in the past paid) three times more. And I actually prefer them to any other design.

Armrest saves nerve

This little armrest made it possible for this beginner to get my bump-ditty working without cutting off the nerves in my wrist. The banjo still looks kind of steam-punk but I figure that's how a banjo is supposed to look.

Armrest

Love the quality and simplicity of this armrest. Really gives my openback a vintage look. Was very easy to install. Great value.
