The Korena take
The OB-250+TP is a professional bluegrass banjo built around a JLS #12 bell bronze, long-skirt tone ring and a Tony Pass/Schaefer birch block-style rim. The long-skirt ring is designed to improve contact among the neck, rim, and tone ring, increasing energy transfer from the pot to the neck. A curly maple neck, ebony fingerboard, flamed maple resonator, and vintage brown finish complete the instrument. A hardshell case is included.
