The Madison RK-R35 gives banjo players the option of a high-quality, great-sounding banjo with a classic Mastertone-style tone ring and flange for a reasonable price. The Recording King Madison RK-R35 is built around a 3-ply steam bent maple rim. It has a maple neck with an adjustable two-way truss rod and a comfortable rosewood fretboard. With a 24-hook brass tension hoop, players can adjust the head tension as precisely as on any world-class banjo. The planetary tuners, geared 5th peg and dual coordinator rods are effective professional components, and add an authentic feel to these impressive banjos. Features a maple resonator with a hand-rubbed brown matte finish, a Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring and a Mastertone-style one-piece flange, for a banjo that looks as classic as it sounds.
