would this be suitable for holding a banjo?

I have this stand and I think it would work well for a banjo. It worked for my old Ovation guitar (which had the rounded back) and it works with my new guitar. The tongs might stick out a bit, but that would not hinder it from working well.

Yes, I agree with the others on this. The stand should work fine for a guitar or a banjo.

Yes, if the banjo has a resonator back. If it is an open back banjo, then no.

I believe so as it fits my acoustic guitar as well as my acoustic round guitar.

I would say probably not. I would think it might be a little too wide for a ukelele.

I used mine to hold my ukulele, and it works fine. The hooks can be turned so that they will fit all sizes of instruments.

To be honest, I have no idea how it would work for a banjo as I have only used them on classical and acoustic guitars.

It should, there is lots of room for the 5th string peg no matter what side of the banjo neck it is on.

Yes, I would think so. The hanger is adjustable to fit the neck of the instrument. You "squeeze" it to size.

I don't believe this stand would be the ideal stand for a ukulele. I believe it would be to big for it.

Hi Lee. There are some models that are narrow enough to hold a uke. The wider fork..I dunno. You wouldn't want yer tuners to be bearing the weight of yer axe..only the headstock.

I'm not familiar with that banjo. I would measure the resonator at the widest point and the overall length of the banjo, and compare to the specs of the case. Good luck!

My banjo is 13 inch fits perfect. This is a soft case. The outside seams measure 14 inches. You could possibly squeeze it in. It would not be a perfect fit. It is a nice case though.

I don't own a banjo, but I think it won't work well. You need the body to lean into the stand, no the neck.

John,I bought the case to replace a tattered one that came with a four string tenor banjo I was repairing. I do not have nay measurements... sorry. Good quality case for the money, though.Frank

It should, most five string banjos are about the same length and being right or left handed does not make a difference since it's only the 5th string tuner we are talking about.

The stand holds a guitar perfectly. If the banjo is the same as a guitar it should fit.

Hi Kathleen...thanks for writing. Does the bridge on the banjo dulcimer look like the typical banjo bridge (like in this photo?) If it is a thin bridge like that, it definitely will work. If the bridge is thicker, like an adjustable bridge of an F model on a mandolin, then the mute would not fit. The opening on the mute fits the banjo bridge perfectly--so go by that; it slides on and off easily. I am very satisfied with this mute and it works really great--it 'stays put' too. Good luck!

I found mine at Musician's Friend for $59 - it's quite study, has more than enough room and if anything deserves a pricier banjo! Quite happy with it (and the banjo, btw). do a search for "Musician's Gear Durafoam Shaped Banjo Case"

I actually have both types of Levi banjo straps - one for a lighter banjo and the cradle strap model for a much heavier banjo. They are both beautiful, and you might be able to get a conversion piece for the machine screw strap, but I would recommend returning it and buying the cradle strap. It really works well, and I could envision some scenarios where the machine screws might scratch the banjo if used in a conversion kit...
