Featuring gorgeous, highly figured maple and adorned with intricate Mother of Pearl and Abalone shell inlays, this instrument is as much a work of fine art as it is a master-grade acoustic instrument. Maintained in near-mint condition with virtually no playing wear, it offers a rare opportunity to own a world-class open-back banjo built at the peak of modern American craftsmanship. We have found a very small scratch on the back of the neck that can barely be felt.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Silverbell Tone Ring: Design \u0026amp; Sonic Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat It Is:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Inspired by the legendary 1920s Bacon \u0026amp; Day (B\u0026amp;D) Silver Bell design and refined by OME, the Silverbell tone ring features a spun brass shell and internal tone chamber rim assembly. Rather than relying solely on raw brass weight, the chambered design interacts dynamically with the head and rim to act as a internal acoustic equalizer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow It Sounds:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The Silverbell tone ring delivers a brilliant, bell-like clarity with a sharp, articulate attack and crisp upper-register chime. It provides ringing sustain without losing note definition, creating a bright, focused tone that punches through open-back tubbiness. When combined with the 12-inch head, the Silverbell ring generates a dynamic soundscape—deep, resonant lows underpinned by shimmering, crystal-clear high notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBanjo Studio Evaluation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOld-Time \u0026amp; Clawhammer Pickers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ideal for players looking for the full, room-filling low end of a 12-inch rim without sacrificing the crisp, rhythmic drive and melody separation needed for clawhammer and frailing styles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMelodic \u0026amp; Fingerstyle Players:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The instant attack and bell-like ring make intricate melody lines pop across every fret on the fingerboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcoustic \u0026amp; Ensemble Performers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Perfect for musicians who need an open-back instrument that cuts through jams or acoustic ensembles without sounding harsh or thin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ome Banjos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545971491064,"sku":"OM-5B-BA-12-MP-5544A-US","price":2697.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0204\/9822\/files\/ome-bright-angel-curly-maple-5-string-banjo-2009-used-ome-banjos-5-string-banjos-om-5b-ba-12-mp-5544a-us-1260324506.jpg?v=1790742848","url":"https:\/\/www.banjostudio.com\/en-gb\/products\/ome-bright-angel-curly-maple-5-string-banjo-2009-used","provider":"Banjo Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
