Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The OT-800LN is a Vintage Brown long-neck banjo with a maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard, and a scoop by the pot for clawhammer work. Its 32-hole Tubaphone-style tone ring combines brass tube-and-rod construction to add overtones. An 11-inch maple rim, Renaissance head, maple-and-ebony bridge, and No-Knot tailpiece complete the setup. Dual coordinator rods allow action adjustment, and the banjo is supplied with a deluxe arched-top hard case.
