Recording King RK-R36 Madison Resonator Banjo

I am just super impressed with these Recording King banjos. If this RK-R36 could cook, I'd have to have a serious talk with her Pa.  Honestly, these are our best seller, they compete with banjo's of much higher prices in the sound department!

Fantastic quality for the price

I started on the Goodtime model banjo which was great for starting, but as I grew my playing abilities(with the GOLD PICK MEMBERSHIP). I wanted something with some more pop when I played with my buddies. This banjo fits in great to the mix. The playability is very comfortable and the looks are very appealing as well. I was nervous because I still felt like I was buying a budget banjo, but this one is a really good investment. No regrets about this purchase. Great for beginner to intermediate players.

X Gibson picker

Have three Recording Kings, RK 25 for the old time woody sound, an Elite 76 as my go to and an RK 36 just to blow the doors off anything else in the room and a pocket full of money from the sale of the Gibsons.

An Excellent Banjo Hands Down

This banjo is...breathe taking, great sound, awesome feel. Jake and the others did an excellent job setting this baby up. The staff was very helpful and very friendly as well as knowledgeable about the specs. If your looking for a great sounding banjo, this is a great one to get.
