Aside from having great bluegrass tone, these banjos are back savers, owing to their lack of a cast tone ring; instead, the upper tier of blocks is shaped to form an intrinsic tone rim.
This banjo is in really good condition, with no significant scratches, gouges, or fret wear.
With hardshell case, it's consigned here at $1950.
The Turtle Hill Banjo Company has these banjos made to order, using a Tony Pass "Lost Timbre" brand submerged wood block pot.
