This is a killer custom open back 5-string banjo by Rickard. It features a 12" brass spunover rim with antiqued brass and a Dobson tone ring. We asked them to use a Goat skin head to give it some character but also add to the warmth in tone. It has the perfect balance of brightness and clarity but also fat and deep old time tone.
The Rickard Spunover banjos are super cool and unique as they spin the brass from one sheet and the result? A perfect rim with no seam at all. The provides a unique tonal quality that provides that perfect clawhammer sound.
