I really like Cherry for banjos, it’s loud but not harsh, lighter than other hardwoods, has a nice growl to it but sings sweetly. This one has a 12” rim with brass tone ring, synthetic head and non steel strings. A brass arm rest and a K&K pickup are nice additions. The Cherry is from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland, originally cut for clock cases. The grafted Pistachio is from California orchards. I have been working on a slightly lighter set of strings for these and I’m really pleased with it. Thanks for the order Daniel, happy picking!
