The pop on resonator and Grenadillo wood tone ring make this one of the most unique and versatile banjos on the current instrument market.
Removable resonators allow a player to easily switch between open back and resonator without the hassle of removing the flange and mounting brackets while the wooden tone ring produces a much softer tone- also lightening the banjo considerably. To top it off the intricate inlay patterns are themed after the architecture found in old steamboats- a favorite subject of Hartford- and are some of our favorite in the shop.Fresh setup, plays and sounds exactly as it should!
