The Lady Stewart was too small to receive the patented adjustable neck brace. |

S.S.Stewart, circa 1900
Lady Stewart
© Frank Ford, 2000; Photos by FF
This little 5-string is set to travel. With its nine inch head and 23 inch scale,
the enitre instrument is only four inches longer than my Gibson A-4 mandolin. This
one was converted to geared pegs quite a while ago, and works well with steel strings.
OK, it wasn't made as a traveler. But the banjo ensemble era is long past, so why
not let it do modern duty? By the way, it sounds great tuned to "A."
