CREMONA MAESTRO SPECIAL EDITION VIOLINS 

Fine performing collectibles for the serious musician! 

SV-1800 

TL-35 included with SV-1750/1700 Outfits 

SV-1700 

Fine instruments in every respect, all Special Edition Maestro 

violins feature the very best and rarest woods, and are superbly 

handcrafted by extraordinarily skilled luthiers whose goal is to 

produce a perfect instrument every time. 

The flagship Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the 

legendary Hellier Strad. The Hellier is the most famous of 

Antonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir 

Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the Master, 

the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a Shanghai 

newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took the Hellier 

with him to England before World War II; after World War II, 

Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated by the 

revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on display 

as plunder. The original Hellier is presently in the Smithsonian in 

Washington, D.C. 

Limited availability: The supply of these extremely rare, very 

old woods and inlay materials is extremely limited and 

irreplaceable.

The Beginning: 

When we set out more than thirty years ago to meet the needs of 

students, parents and teachers for affordable, high quality, violin 

family instruments, our ultimate goal was to increase the number 

of people who make music on bowed instruments. 

We knew from the beginning how important the quality and 

accessibility of a student’s first instrument is in determining who 

gets a chance to play, who succeeds and who quits in frustration. 

This has resulted in our ability to eliminate the two biggest deterrents 

to a beginner’s success: the high cost of getting started and poorly 

made instruments and bows. In the process, Cremona has become 

a market leader among the world’s most popular and respected 

violin lines. 

Primary O b j ectiv es: 

• Focus attention where it matters most…done. 

• Maintain existing affordable prices…done. 

• Push the quality envelope…done. 

• Comparable item numbers mean comparable specs…done. 

We developed several innovations in design, materials and manufacturing 

methods that have resulted in the finest combination of 

features available at each price point without astronomical prices. 

• Finish 

The translucent, warm brown finish, painstakingly applied in multiple, 

thin coats, allows the beauty of wood and craftsmanship to shine 

through—fostering pride in the student. 

• Bow s: J . LaSalle ® LB-13 Series O ctagonal Bow s 

Many professional players prefer the playing qualities of an 

octagonal bow. The J. LaSalle ® LB-13 Series Bows feature high 

quality octagonal Brazilwood stick, ebony frog, quality fittings and 

genuine unbleached white horsehair. Balance, response and overall 

playability are excellent. 

• Cases: Trav elite ® TL-33, TL-20 & Featherw eight ® C-3905 

Our exclusive, Travelite ® TL-33 is included with Cremona Student 

Violin and Viola Outfits. This precision-engineered, full-suspension, 

wood-reinforced, arch top, structural foam case features padded 

black luggage-grade nylon exterior, soft beautiful padded interior, 

large accessory pockets inside & out, hygrometer, 2 ribbon-backed 

bow holders, zip closures, Velcro neck stabilizer, comfortable handle 

and carry straps. It is light weight, durable, easy-to-carry, stylish 

and it transports your instrument safely. Cremona Student Cello 

Outfits come with Travelite ® TL-20. 

Smaller-sized Violins, 1/8-1/16, come with custom Featherweight ® 

C-3905 structural foam cases. These are durable, lightweight & easy 

to carry. Interior and exterior fabrics match the Travelite ® TL-33. 

• Strings: A. Breton ® VNS-150 Perlon 

Cremona Premier Student Violin & Viola Outfits are equipped 

with genuine Anton Breton ® Perlon Strings, usually not found on 

instruments priced at this level. With these strings, you get the 

feel, sound and playability of gut without the high cost.

There’s no better student violin value anywhere than a Cremona 

Premier outfit! The finest, most select solid tonewoods are carefully 

fashioned into musical instruments that not only look beautiful 

but play and respond easily to encourage the student and facilitate 

steady progress. 

Our newest Premier outfit is the SV-165, which features trimmings 

of rare and beautiful rosewood. This hard, dense wood ensures 

tuning stability and accuracy and nicely complements the classic 

proportions of the SV-165. The violin is finished in a pleasing 

brown shade that highlights the well-selected wood. 

The companion models: SV-150 and SV-175 are similar in most 

respects—the same hand carving and graduation of top and 

back. The SV-150 features polished boxwood trimmings and the 

SV-175 features polished ebony pegs and chinrest with our 

VP-61 alloy tailpiece with built-in tuners for convenience.

The craftsmen at J. LaSalle ® have developed the world’s most 

sophisticated grading methods and testing apparatus for the 

production of fine, artist-quality bows and they use these on 

every bow that they manufacture—regardless of price. Every 

bow stick is graded for quality and physical beauty and then 

tested for stiffness and resiliency before being put into work. 

Each component of every bow—including the frog and winding 

screw—is meticulously weighed to ensure that the whole bow is 

perfectly balanced. Thus, the most uniform quality is achieved in 

every J. LaSalle ® bow that we sell. The same methods used by 

the finest European Bow Shops are now being used for the first 

time in bows at the most affordable price points designed for 

the youngest students. The result is a line of quality bows that 

will please the most discriminating teacher—bows that are the 

finest ever offered for school and rental programs. 

Every J. LaSalle ® bow is made to the most exacting standards of 

quality and cannot fail to provide years of trouble-free service 

to the player.

Gitane ® is proud to include some of the world’s greatest guitarists 

in its roster of endorsers. 

Dorado Schmitt is internationally known as a master of Gypsy Jazz 

guitar. His distinguished recording career spans over three decades 

and he is counted among the elite of modern guitarists. Dorado 

worked closely with Saga ® engineers to create his own model 

Gitane ® guitar, the DG-370 is a revelation in tone, playability and 

style. The combination of Adirondack spruce and flamed maple 

results in a bright, clear tone with depth, projection and power. 

Jan Akkerman is world-famous in many styles of music. From his 

legendary recordings with Focus to his mastery of the lute and 

his fiery Gypsy Jazz style—he is versatile, endlessly creative and 

the very epitome of a Guitarist’s Guitarist. He has specified for his 

signature model Gitane: an Indian rosewood body, a walnut 

neck and dark tortoise plastic binding for a look of elegance. 

The sound of this superb guitar reflects the man who inspired it, 

being versatile and modern with a healthy respect for tradition.

GITANE ® GYPSY JAZ Z GUITARS 

Classic guitars from the past that really swing! 

D-500 

DG-255 

Fans of Gypsy Jazz applaud Saga’s reintroduction of two of the 

most recognizable instruments in the collectible guitar world— 

guitars that set the standard for all of today’s Gypsy Jazz guitarists. 

The Gitane ® D-500 represents the first great Gypsy Jazz guitardesigned 

in 1930 and now refined by the Gitane ® artisans for 

even greater playability and tone. Its large D-shape soundhole 

and classical guitar appointments set the style for all similar guitars 

to follow and its characteristic tone became the standard for 

Gypsy Jazz music. Further development of the original guitar in 

the mid 1930s gave birth to the second, longer-scaled version 

with the small oval or Petite Bouche soundhole. Gitane’s masterful 

interpretation of this iconic guitar is called the DG-255, and this 

style of guitar was the first choice of Django Reinhardt throughout 

his illustrious career. 

Each Gitane ® model possesses its own characteristic tone. The 

large D-soundhole of the DG-500 favors the bass response and 

is generally the choice of rhythm guitarists. The DG-255 with its 

small soundhole has a brighter tone with plenty of cutting 

power—perfect for the Gypsy Jazz lead guitarist.

Leading the way for Gypsy Jazz afficionados and players! 

DG-250 

DG-250M 

Any Django fan or Gypsy Jazz guitarist will be thrilled to have 

either of these great new classic Selmer-style guitars to choose 

from. Both with the traditional sound and style coupled with 

modern improvements. 

The DG-250M was inspired by a rare 1941 Selmer Jazz guitar, of 

which only a few were ever made. The DG-250 is a popular interpretation 

of the same guitar but with rosewood back and sides. 

Both models have the longer scale length and characteristic 

oval sound hole which will only further bring out the exceptional 

qualities of these classic originals. 

Unique to both models is the Solid Peghead design that was 

also found on the original maple guitar. This feature has been 

noted by many players to add functional mass to the headstock 

area which translates to better tone and resonance. It also 

makes string changes easy whether breakage happens at home 

during practice or on stage at a gig.

DG-560 

Gitane ® has created a new style of guitar that combines the best 

elements of Classical, Flamenco and Gypsy Jazz. The new DG-560 

is as light as a feather and responds to the most delicate touch 

whether played in the traditional finger-style or with a flat-pick 

in the Gypsy tradition. 

The slim, well-proportioned neck is made of genuine, solid 

cypress—known for its lightness, strength and stability. It is 

designed for nylon strings and features a solid ebony extension 

fingerboard with a full 24 frets on the treble side. The top is made 

of extremely rare, solid Port Orford cedar with delicate fan bracing 

in the tradition of Spanish masters. The redesigned solid ebony 

bridge with split bone saddle assures perfect intonation every 

time. The back and sides are of cypress—a traditional wood 

used on Spanish Classical and Flamenco guitars for the last 200 

years. It lends a true Flamenco flavor to the tone and appearance 

of the DG-560.

many and often discourage any guitarist, let alone a beginner! 

To help bridge this gap, Saga ® Musical Instruments and Gitane ®

in the hands of Django himself. All the same traditional construction 

methods and wood choices were used to assure that the tone, 

playability and workmanship meet or exceed any players 

expectations—even those of the most seasoned veteran of this 

style.

stunning abalone pearl inlay around top and soundhole. The 

most select, solid spruce top is paired with solid East Indian 

rosewood back and sides. The BR-361 is the same fine guitar but 

substitutes fine herringbone purfling for the decorative top border. 

The same fine Ivoroid binding graces the top, back and the 

edges of the fingerboard. The top is select, solid spruce with 

solid Rosewood back & sides and a solid mahogany neck, with 

its carved ornamental volute. The BR-341 pairs a solid spruce 

top with solid mahogany back and sides. The binding of this 

model is tortoiseshell plastic, with fine black and white line purfling 

for the top and soundhole. All three models feature a periodcorrect 

pyramid-style ebony bridge with bone saddle.

A true pioneering force of early Bluegrass music, the Lonesome

Bobby Osborne, Jimmy and Paul Williams, and current Blueridge 

guitar endorser, Melvin Goins.

the newest member of the Blueridge line of guitars and 

first commemorative instrument ever produced—the Lonesome

represents a 70+ year history by being designed after instruments 

that would have been produced in the same year the band

In the mid-1960s Ralph and Carter Stanley saw something in a 

boy from Lebanon, Ohio. From those early days with the Stanley 

Brothers, Larry Sparks has developed his own dynamic style 

while staying true to the traditions of that good old-time country 

music. Those powerful lead guitar breaks, paired with soulful 

vocals have endeared him to Bluegrass Music Lovers everywhere. 

The Larry Sparks Signature Model Blueridge is based on the 

unique design elements of the guitar that is so closely identified 

with his career. The power and tradition are built in and the guitar, 

like Larry Sparks himself, is already being called The Youngest of 

the Old-Timers!

LIMITED 

EDITIO N! 

BR-4060 

Blueridge BR-4060 Signature Guitar honors the legendary 

George Shuffler—widely credited as the inventor of the Cross- 

Picking technique. His seminal recordings from the 1950s, with 

the Stanley Brothers, changed forever the sound of Bluegrass 

guitar. 

The Blueridge George Shuffler Signature Guitar is the ultimate 

guitar for the Bluegrass lead guitarist with its combination of a 

select, solid spruce top and choice solid Mahogany back and sides. 

The top features a Forward-X pattern of handcarved, parabolic 

spruce braces. The BR-4060 has all the power and full-bodied 

tone that any artist could desire, and a special feature on the 

rosewood peghead is a stylized Flatpick inlay of ivoroid, tortoise 

and pearl, along with George’s signature in gold script. We 

believe that all George’s many fans—as well as guitarists of all 

types—will thrill to the sound and style of the George Shuffler 

Signature Guitar!

BLUERIDGE TENOR GUITARS 

New Tenor guitar is a smashing success—order yours today! 

BR-70T 

BR-60T 

Blueridge has re-introduced the classic 0-sized tenor guitar and 

has perfectly reproduced this popular model down to the last 

detail. Originally coming to prominence in the late 1920s, the 

tenor guitar was designed as an instrument that would allow the 

tenor banjoist to double on guitar. As the six-string guitar gradually 

replaced the banjo in the Big Bands, the four-string tenor 

guitar found its way into Dixieland, Western Swing and country 

fiddle bands. 

Just like the classic originals, our tenor guitars feature a solid 

spruce top and a mahogany neck with adjustable truss rod that 

joins the body at the 14th fret. You have a choice of mahogany 

back and sides or, rosewood back and sides with fancier inlays 

on our higher level models.

features beautiful original designs in white pearl and abalone in 

the peghead and distinctive Trinity inlaid pearl position marks

Two new additions to the Gospel line are a dreadnought model, 

BR-340 and a 14-fret 000 model BR-343CE with cutaway shoulder 

and a Fishman ® Presys pickup system. Features common to all 

models are a slim, low profile mahogany neck with smooth, polished 

frets, a solid spruce top with scalloped forward X-bracing and 

the traditional dovetail neck/body joint. Back and sides of select 

mahogany ensure a resonant tone with great carrying power. 

Gold-plated Vintage butterbean-button open-back tuning

With four new Regal Tricones to choose from, we offer a guitar for 

every musical taste. In addition to our best-selling RC-51 brassbodied 

nickel plated Tricone and our RC-58TT with its distinctive 

Texas Tea powder-coated finish, we have four exciting new 

models for the discriminating guitarist. 

The new RC-50 features a brass body with an antiqued nickel finish 

that really resembles a 70-year-old collectible. The RC-55 features 

a brass body in the Tricone shape with a single 91⁄2" resonator 

cone with wooden biscuit bridge. This model features the rare 

slotted coverplate and the entire guitar is brightly nickel-plated. 

Our top two models are the RC-56 with its brass body in a novel 

copper finish, and the RC-57 with fancy engraving over the entire 

brass body. 

All guitars in this series (with the exception of the RC-55) feature 

three 6" resonators connected by a T-shaped aluminum bridge. 

This construction provides a distinctive tone—ideal for the 

Blues and Hawaiian Music—and a volume and carrying power

REGAL BLACK LIGHTNING RESOPHONIC GUITAR 

The best value in a professional squareneck resophonic guitar! 

There’s never been another Resophonic guitar like it—the 

Regal RD-52 is an unprecedented value with a style and look all 

its own! With its distinctive pearl peghead inlay design and 

unmatched build quality, it is no surprise that this popular Regal 

consistently outclasses anything at three times the price. Our 

goal from the very beginning was to combine all of the ground 

breaking design features and legendary tonal characteristics of 

vintage originals, with modern construction techniques to make 

instruments that are priced within the reach of the working 

musician or any square-neck enthusiast. 

Features include all mahogany construction with a rosewood 

fingerboard finished in a translucent glossy black that still lets 

the actual color of the wood shine through, a genuine USA-made 

cone, an old-style sound-well with parallelogram openings, a 

scale length of 25", nickel-plated hardware, and the period correct 

California-style body and neck shape. 

We believe that the RD-52 Black Lightening is the best value 

ever offered in a Resophonic guitar and will satisfy any customer 

looking for that true squareneck sound.

KENTUCKY ® MASTER F-MODEL MANDOLIN 

Kentucky ® luthiers’ crowning achievement! 

LIMITED 

EDITIO N! 

KM-5000 

Bill and James Monroe 

To commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Bill Monroe’s 

birth, Saga ® Musical Instruments has been commissioned by 

the family to produce 100, Limited Edition Kentucky ® Master 

F-model mandolins. All will be accompanied by a Certificate 

of Authenticity signed by Bill’s son, James Monroe. 

This spectacular mandolin will feature a special pearl-inlaid 

rendition of Bill’s portrait and banner commemorating this 

hundred-year milestone with his signature below in gold 

script. A white pearl truss rod cover completes the beauty of 

the peghead. The finest, flatsawn Michigan maple that most 

closely resembles the original Master Models and the choicest 

Adirondack spruce will be used for the back, sides, neck and 

top. These woods are collected from exactly the same area that 

supplied the original wood used in the 1923 Master Mandolin 

that Monroe played for most of his career. No expense was 

spared with regard to tonewood selection, workmanship or 

finish. The finest engraved and heavily gold-plated machine 

heads are used, and the tuning buttons are genuine motherof-pearl. 

The gold plated tailpiece is similarly engraved with 

the words “The Kentucky” in the stylistic manner of the early 

1920s. The delicate black and white lines of purfling on body 

and neck also duplicate Bill’s 1923 original. The skillfully shaded 

sunburst varnish finish of the neck and body faithfully rounds 

out the look of this soon to be sought after collectable. 

“Bill Monroe’s approach to the mandolin was unique, utilizing it 

as both a lead and rhythm instrument. He is directly responsible 

for the mandolin’s current prominence in Bluegrass, Country, 

Pop and numerous other forms of music.” 

George Gruhn, January 2011 

We believe that this exceptional mandolin is a fitting tribute to 

the man who invented Bluegrass, and every professional mandolin 

player, fan of Bill Monroe and his music, and every instrument 

collector will want this exclusive, limited-edition masterpiece. 

We urge all of our dealers to place their orders immediately—as 

this limited run of instruments is sure to sell out in a short time!

KM-1500 

Every fine luthier workshop dreams of producing a flagship 

model—an instrument on which no expense is spared, an 

instrument that uses the finest materials and embodies all the 

accumulated skill and devotion of their finest craftsmen. The 

Kentucky ® workshop has realized its dream of its ultimate, or 

Flagship, mandolin—the KM-1500. 

This Master Instrument uses the finest, most highly figured 

Michigan Maple combined with the whitest, most fine-grained 

Adirondack Spruce. These solid woods are meticulously handcarved 

and graduated—just as were the fabled originals of the 

early ’20s—to achieve the finest tone quality and volume possible 

in a new instrument. The delicately shaded Cremona sunburst 

finish on our KM-1500 is as close to the originals as you will ever 

see—and the elegantly gold-plated and engraved tuning 

machines and tailpiece are in perfect harmony with the understated 

elegance of the finish and workmanship. The body, neck 

and peghead are bordered with ivoroid and fine, black and white 

lines of inlay. The perfect replica ebony bridge has a compensated 

top and is height adjustable by two small thumbwheels, 

gold-plated. Perhaps the crowning touch of elegance on the new 

KM-1500 is the traditional Fern inlay of abalone pearl, carefully 

inlaid in the peghead just below the white pearl Kentucky ® 

logo. The ebony extension fingerboard has the full 29 frets— 

low, smooth and polished to perfection. The highly figured 

maple neck has the slender vee-shape artists prefer. A traditional, 

oblong case with cover is included in the price. 

Kentucky ® KM-1500 compares with any new mandolin currently 

offered by any workshop or individual maker. We invite you to 

test and compare—and we feel sure that you will choose the 

Kentucky ® KM-1500!

MASTER

TO DAY ! 

KM-900 

In the Classic Era of American Mandolins—the early 1920s— 

there was a single example of a Lloyd Loar Master Model in the 

A-style—a symmetrical pear-shaped body without points or 

scroll. This mandolin had the long neck that joined the body at 

the 15th fret and the symmetrical “snakehead” shaped peghead. 

As regards finish, choice of wood and fittings, it was identical to 

the standard Master Model F-5. The tone of this singular mandolin 

was equal to any F-5 and has charmed players and collectors to 

this day. 

With a lovely Cremona Brown shaded lacquer finish, identical to 

our KM-1000 F-Model, we feel that we are offering a thoroughly 

professional mandolin at an amazingly low price. The new KM-900 

features select, solid spruce and solid Northern flatsawn maple, as 

was used in the 1920s Vintage Originals. This ensures that our 

new mandolin has the right look as well as the right sound. 

The most discriminating players and collectors will want this 

superb mandolin, and every serious player at every level will be 

able to afford it. We urge you to try the KM-900 Master Model 

mandolin and compare it to any boutique mandolins costing four 

times our price, and we believe that you will be convinced of 

the superiority of the new Kentucky ® KM-900!

GOLD STAR ® BANJOS 

Shift your break into overdrive! 

GF-200-1952 

GF-200 

GF-300FE 

Saga ® has recreated the ideal bluegrass banjo of the 1930s in 3 

exciting models…the GF-200, GF-200-1952 & GF-300 professional 

quality 5-string resonator banjos! Each represents the best value 

in today’s market of professional quality instruments. 

Gold Star ® has duplicated the design of classic banjos while 

improving upon certain areas of structural weakness and by 

using only the best materials for each instrument. Highly flamed 

maple is used for the neck and resonator, rosewood or ebony for 

the triple-ply bound fingerboard inlaid with traditional inlay 

patterns of either Hearts & Flowers, Flying Eagle or the 1952 Bow-Tie 

pattern. Brass is used for the tension hoop and the flange is 

made of pot metal. At the heart of each instrument, and the 

secret to their legendary tone lies a three-ply rock maple rim and 

a special alloy, cast bronze tone ring, providing all the volume 

and tone for any situation without the unpleasant overtones that 

characterize some other banjos on the market today. 

With a new Gold Star ® , you are sure to get an instrument that not 

only sounds amazing but looks incredible, too. Many of today’s 

best banjo players are discovering why Gold Star ® has the tone 

and the drive for any musical situation and when you play the 

Gold Star ® you’ll know the reason. Each instrument includes a 

new deluxe CD-1530 wood hardshell case by Superior ® .

GF-100W 


The rebirth of the vintage banjo! 

GF-100W 

GF-100FE 

Most banjo players agree that the ideal Bluegrass banjo was the 

flathead built in very limited quantities during the 1930s. Earl 

Scruggs, Sonny Osborne, and J.D. Crowe have all owned these 

models valued in excess of $80,000. The Gold Star ® is a replica 

of that design and captures the sound of these classic banjos at 

a price within the reach of any serious banjo player. 

Extensive metallurgical research in the laboratories of the 

University of California has resulted in the copper-rich bell 

bronze alloy used in the tone ring of the GF-100 Series. Each 

tone ring is cast, machined, and plated, then carefully hand 

fitted. The rim itself is made of three overlapping plies of rock 

maple, routed to the exact configuration used in the nineteen 

thirties flatheads—the only construction that can duplicate the 

old sound. 

Available in three models, distinguished by their inlay patterns, 

every Gold Star ® flathead has the utmost in volume and cutting 

power combined with every nuance and shading of tone. For 

today’s professional banjo player, there is no better choice than 

a Gold Star!

TUNERS! 

GF-85 

In the late 1970s Saga ® Musical Instruments made banjo history 

with the introduction of the Gold Star ® Banjo. These instruments 

were the first production banjos since the 1930s to be manufactured 

with the lethal combination of a three-ply maple rim and 

a single piece flange! As a result, Gold Star ® banjos became 

collector’s items for the current crop of pickers during the 1980s 

and 1990s and are still the object of many a collector’s desire. 

The GF-85 easily lives up to its reputation as a banjo in which 

the sound quality and value far exceeds anything at twice the 

price. Produced with the same attention to detail as the original 

models and under the watchful eye of our skilled makers, these 

reissue Gold Stars come from an almost clean slate and are 

made the old-fashioned way, replicating ’30s era banjos with a 

few modern touches like a geared 5th. Just one look and you will 

know that the GF-85 is every bit a Gold Star ® and carries on the 

name proudly.

SAGA ® BANJOS 

Legendary banjos for the legendary musician! 

SS-3 

SS-10P 

The Saga ® Style III Banjo features a rim design inspired by the 

instruments of William Lange in the early 1900s and the banjos 

produced by the Ode Banjo Company in the 1960s. Saga ® introduced 

this unique flathead design in the late 1970s, incorporating 

a cast hard-alloy rim with an integral, buttressed tone ring. The 

result is an amazing clarity of tone in all registers as well as the 

quick attack and rapid decay that pickers expect in a professional 

quality flathead banjo. The P-11 heavy-duty, grooved, tension 

hoop is machined from solid brass, polished, and triple nickelplated. 

This design has stood the test of time, having been first 

used on the Mastertone Banjos of the Gibson Mandolin Guitar 

Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Saga ® Style III Banjo was 

designed for the advanced student or professional. 

The Saga ® Old Time Banjos are reminiscent of the classic banjos 

produced by S.S. Stewart in Philadelphia over one hundred 

years ago. Saga ® has incorporated a slightly heavier maple rim 

with a rolled brass tone ring to produce an instrument retaining 

the traditional look and feel of banjos produced in that Golden 

Age. In the last century, banjos were parlor instruments strung 

with gut. The heavier rim design along with planetary pegs and 

a geared fifth peg were added to compensate for the increased 

tension and torque of modern steel strings. These banjos are 

certain to become universal favorites.

the RB-30 and RB-35 Series 5-string, plectrum and tenor instruments. 

In addition to the use of professional features and standard 

dimensions—the hallmark of any Rover ® banjo design— 

Saga ® chose to use aluminum as the rim material because of its 

characteristic tone, power and projection that cannot be found 

in similarly-priced wood rim instruments.

FLINTHILL BANJOS 

PreWar-inspired banjos anyone can afford! 

FHB-287 

FHB-300 

Flinthill banjos are hand-crafted to the original PreWar specs— 

to the delight of collectors and players everywhere! There are 

no modern banjos that come any closer to sound of the prewar 

originals—but Flinthill beats EVERYBODY on price! The finest 

selected maple and mahogany are used for the necks and resonators 

and the lavish pearl inlay patterns are reproductions of vintage 

originals. You have your choice of an authentic, cast flathead 

tone ring or the rare raised head archtop tone ring—the most 

coveted, late 1920s solid version with no holes. All the neck 

proportions are PreWar-inspired and designed for easy playing. 

Authentic, 2-band planetary tuners and a geared 5th ensure 

accurate tuning and the one-piece flange, correct period armrest 

and Presto-style tailpiece are true to tradition as well. 

With stellar, PreWar tone, maximum playability and amazingly 

affordable prices, these Flinthill banjos promise big sales and

TRINITY COLLEGE ® BODHRANS 

Bodhrans are the traditional Irish/Celtic hand drum. Trinity College ® 

bodhrans are built to the traditional 18"-diameter with twin crossbar 

support and laminated wood rim. The genuine natural white 

goatskin head is attached with tacks, giving the drum the traditional 

look and feel. All Trinity College ® Bodhrans include a polished 

wood tipper. 

BODHRAN PARTS & ACCESSORIES 

Saga ® also offer bodhran parts and accessories like the tutor kit, 

which includes a book and a tape for beginners, the polished 

wood bodhran tipper, and the goatskin replacement head. 

The world’s hardiest goats thrive in the fierce winters of the high 

Pamir and only the few, thickest-skinned goats are selected by 

Saga ® Trinity College 

for our highest-quality P-199 bodhran heads. Our goatskin 

heads are noted for their even texture and long-wearing qualities. 

22"-diameter—ready for fitting.

TRINITY COLLEGE ® CONCERTINA 

Trinity College ® Concertinas offer all the features and craftsmanship 

of the classic turn-of-the-century instruments but at moderate 

cost. These instruments are light weight, portable, easy to learn 

and fun to play. 

Trinity College ® Anglo Collection Concertinas feature a diatonic 

button system which works much as a harmonica does. Each button 

produces two different pitches, one on the blow, another on the 

draw. Though they can be played in other keys, they are mostly 

played in C or G. Harmony may be obtained by pushing more than 

one button at a time.

Traveling to and from the gig or lesson with an instrument can 

not only be dangerous for the instrument itself, but equally as 

hard on the player. Carrying a heavy case in addition to the 

instrument can often make even the shortest journey more 

difficult and can affect the performance. Travelite ® bowed 

instrument cases successfully blend the most modern materials 

available with traditional tried and true designs to make some of 

the lightest, most durably constructed instrument cases on the 

market today. So popular are these cases that they can 

often be seen at festivals, concert halls, and airports—safely 

and securely carrying their precious cargo!

When it comes to fretted instrument protection, there is no better 

value than Featherweight instrument cases. Each case offers the 

same level of protection that any wood hardshell case can provide, 

but at a fraction of the weight. A lighter case makes for less 

fatigue when traveling from festival to festival. Another added 

feature inherent to this design of these cases is their ability to 

keep the internal environment of the case constant regardless 

of the outside temperature. Every feature of these cases should 

appeal to anyone purchasing a new instrument, as well as for 

those players who also have rare and delicate vintage instruments.

Since the very early beginnings of our 

company, musical instrument kits have 

played an important role in helping us to 

create our identity as innovators in the 

development of quality musical instruments 

and related products. We have always 

believed that the instrument you play has 

as much to do with your personal expression 

as your choice of music. What better 

way to fully express yourself than to create 

a completely custom, unique, professional 

quality musical instrument just the way 

you like it. 

Saga ® offers a variety of kit models that 

will easily accommodate today’s most 

popular music styles, and challenge any 

musician who is looking to be a little 

different than all the rest. Our electric 

guitar and bass kits come in eight of the 

most popular body shapes and pick-up 

configurations found on the market today, 

giving the owner a chance to make his or 

her own signature model. For those who 

are into more traditional music, Saga ® has 

brought back its original banjo kit in both 

openback and resonator versions. Plus, 

our mandolin kits are available in 

acoustic and solid-body electric versions.

S aga® supports its lines of quality musical 

instruments with a wide selection 

of quality parts and fittings. 

Saga’s top quality A. Breton ® violin family 

fittings are suitable as original equipment 

or as replacement parts for fine instruments. 

The A. Breton ® fittings are available 

in traditional polished ebony, rosewood or 

Hill-style boxwood models. Most ebony 

parts are available in several sizes. Other 

violin family fittings include the R. Haus 

line of economical violin family products, 

our affordable, high quality Cremona line 

of bridges, and several popular, widely 

available, industry-standard parts, such as 

A. Breton ® tailpieces and Aubert bridges. 

The extensive line of Saga ® Fretted 

Instrument Parts includes a large number 

of Saga ® originals as well as many vintage 

and modern-design direct-replacement 

fittings. Parts are available for most popular 

fretted instrument configurations and 

specifications. 

PARTS 

Since the first Saga ® product was a high 

quality reissue banjo kit, authentic reissue 

parts for banjos and other fretted instruments 

were obviously among our first products. 

Many of these parts are exact reissues of 

historic parts and fittings. As such, they can 

be used as direct replacements for vintage 

parts—an extremely important consideration 

when the instrument being fitted is a 

valuable collectible. Needless to say, such 

fine quality parts are also suitable for use 

as original equipment on high quality new 

instruments. 

General Saga ® fretted instrument fittings 

include electric guitar kits, fret wire and 

several types of precut binding strips. 

Golden Gate ® banjo bridges, the first products 

in the Golden Gate ® line, are available 

in several popular configurations in all 

popular heights.

Remo and Golden Gate ® standard 11" diameter heads with 5⁄8"

heads were custom-fit from flat calfskin, this was no problem. Our 

flat 16"-diameter calfskins will fit any of these older banjos. Save 

the old head’s hoop for reuse: These are not easily replaced!

BIRCH’S AB ROSIN 

In the late 19th C., Miss Amy Birch perfected rosin for her own use. 

It was kind to the bow, unaffected by extremes of temperature or 

humidity and because of its non-clogging characteristics, helped 

to produce volume and purity of tone. First marketed in 1896, it 

was immediately endorsed by her professional colleagues in the 

Covent Garden Orchestra. 

Violin: VP-04V (Dark) Cello: VP-04C (Dark) 

SHERMAN’S ROSIN 

Sherman’s rosin has been a favorite with beginning string teachers 

in the US for decades. The rosin is packaged in a wood C-channel 

with a removable cardboard lid.

The importance of good rosin cannot be over-emphasized. 

Rosin, a sticky processed tree sap, increases the friction between 

the bow hair and the string. Good rosin increases the player’s 

control over tone, articulation and response. 

In general, clear or light rosins tend to be harder and less sticky 

than darker rosins. They usually work best in warm, humid 

climates. Darker, softer rosins are often preferred in cooler, drier 

climates. Some rosins are weather-coded. 

Student-grade rosins are typically packaged in a C-channel for 

ease of use. Better rosins, which are usually cloth-wrapped and 

may or may not come in a box, tend to have a finer particle size. 

Smaller particles dust more, reducing clogging of the hair and 

increasing its useful life. 

While price is usually a good indication of quality, player preference 

is the ultimate arbiter.

SHELTON SERIES GUITAR STRAPS 

More than 25 years ago James Alan Shelton designed and began 

to produce guitar, banjo and mandolin straps in his shop in 

Gate City, Virginia. Those straps were made one at time by hand 

and set a new standard of function and quality for a select group 

of professional musicians. Along the way, James became the lead 

guitar man with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys and 

the waiting time for straps grew ever-longer. 

The Golden Gate ® Shelton Series retains all of the design features 

that made these straps legendary and are now available to everyone.
