The "Songster" RK-R20 features the classic "hearts and flowers" inlay pattern. This is a mahogany banjo and has a rolled brass tone ring atop a maple rim.
This is a great beginner's banjo, with its ease of play and its classically good looks.
Recording King banjos were designed by Greg Rich (formerly of Gibson and later of Rich and Taylor) to be a high quality instrument made in China. The historic name "Recording King" was chosen for these banjos.
