Ome Tupelo Openback 12" Rim Banjo With Case

Beautiful, simple, and resonant!  

With a cherry neck and rim, and 12” rim construction, this banjo has a wonderfully rich and dark tone, while still having that sparkling shimmer to the front edge of the notes for good distinction.  For the money, this is one of my our time favorite openback banjos!

The elegant paddle-shaped headstock showcases ebony buttons atop Rickard Cyclone tuners, complementing the vintage aesthetic. A comfortable 1 11/32" nut width makes playing a breeze. The cherry neck features an ebony fingerboard with 17 hardened nickel frets and brass dot inlays, all finished with a smooth tung oil. Brass dot side markers and an ebony capped heel add to the refined look. A custom 5/8" OME bridge and rim stick coordinator rod ensure optimal stability and tone. Aged brass hardware, including the tension hoop and Sweetone tailpiece, contribute to the banjo's classic appeal. The wooden armrest, tortoise shell binding, and ebonite rim cap provide both comfort and durability. With a 25.5" scale length and weighing approximately 5.7 lbs, this banjo is comfortable to play and easy to transport.
