Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around Irish tenor banjo work, the IT-250F pairs GDAE tuning with a 17-fret ebony fingerboard and 19-inch scale. Its 14-inch mahogany resonator is designed to carry the banjo’s output forward in a large session, while the slim bound neck keeps the playing area straightforward. Traditional hearts-and-flowers inlay, Vintage Brown finish, and chrome-plated hardware give it a detailed, classic presentation.
