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.
