A closed-back banjo offers more volume and a fuller, more mature tone than their open-back counterparts. The Songster Resonator Banjo’s mahogany resonator yields bold, assertive tone that sings with the thick atmospherics of a mountain holler. Mahogany’s stout midrange and bold sustain helps your banjo hold ground as a solo instrument (or for recording and playing with others). Meanwhile, nickel resonator hardware and a Remo head project notes far and wide with ample volume, sustain, and dynamic response. All these features make the Songster Resonator Banjo the perfect fit for bluegrass and similar styles — it even channels old-school RK bluegrass banjos down to microscopic details like a hex-stamped flange design lifted from original RK builds nearly a century ago.High-performance comfort at a low price The Songster Resonator Banjo offers top-notch comfortable and quality at an incredibly modest price! It’s no gimmick, the Songster is made in the same workshops as Recording King’s top-tier Madison and Elite banjos. A comfortable mahogany neck and a Revebond fingerboard ensure great playability paired with a “C” neck carve for smooth and easy fretting up and down the neck. On the body, an authentic rolled tone ring ensures genuine vintage-style resonance that’s tough to find on a banjo in this price range. When it comes to tuning, the Songster quickly retunes courtesy of four planetary-style headstock tuners, which make it a great choice for gigging players who need a single instrument that’s reliable yet versatile.Recording King: retro refreshed The landmark Recording King brand traces its origins back to 1930s building contracts with the retail titan Montgomery Ward. During the early days of radio and recorded music, affordable but well-crafted Recording King guitars, banjos, and resonators swept across the nation far and wide. Now revived, Recording King hearkens back to those early days of production-line American instruments built for pros and budding musicians alike. Nearly a century later, these retro models take their cues from vintage designs for results that look and sound like their 1930s counterparts.Recording King Songster Resonator Banjo Features: 5-string design factory-tuned to standard GDGBD banjo tuning Built in the same workshops as Recording King’s top-of-the-line Madison and Elite banjos Stylish gloss-finished mahogany body with nickel resonator hardware, built to vintage specs Closed-back resonator design yield louder and consistent tone — ideal for bluegrass and more!
