Called the Melody King banjo, this one features a mahogany resonator and premium pre-war-style features. It's the best introductory model with classic Recording King components.
The Melody King also features a 3-ply steam-bent maple rim with a perfectly flat bearing edge for maximum acoustic contact with the head. Does it sound as good as a banjo with a metal tone ring? Not quite, but it's quite impressive.
The hardware is nickel-plated with American-standard threads, and the mother-of-pearl inlay is a Mother of Pearl "fan" style. It has a mahogany resonator, a one-piece mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard.
This model also features the traditional Recording King peghead and an authentic Mastertone-style flange. A Recording King hard-shell case is included.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing. |
