Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed players, the OT-800LN combines a long maple neck with an ebony fingerboard and a scoop at the pot for clawhammer playing. Its 32-hole Tubaphone-style tone ring uses brass tube-and-rod construction to add overtones, while the 11-inch maple rim and Renaissance head complete the assembly. Dual coordinator rods make action adjustment straightforward. The banjo comes in Vintage Brown with a deluxe arched-top hard case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed clawhammer players who want a scooped fretboard area beside the pot.
- Players who want to fine-tune action through dual coordinator rods on a long-neck banjo.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, as this is the left-handed OT-800LN model.
