This Ome Juniper 19-fret tenor banjo is the same as the new Ome banjo the great tenor banjoist Don Vappie plays. Featuring the Ome Vintage style tone ring, this openback tenor banjo is plenty loud. Don Vappie chose to have this model made for him since he is always playing through a microphone or pickup, he felt he didn't need the resonator - which in turn, translated to a much lighter banjo.
This tenor banjo model by Ome banjo is one of our favorites in the shop. It has a full rich, clear tone. I personally use this banjo as one of my primary gigging tenor banjos.
