24-hook brass tension hoop
It provides adjustment of the banjo head’s tension.

Independent shopping perspective
Recording King’s RK-R36 is a resonator banjo built with a select mahogany resonator and neck, a Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring, and a one-piece flange. Its 24-hook brass tension hoop provides the means to adjust head tension. Nickel-plated hardware follows vintage Mastertone-style specifications, giving the instrument a clearly defined hardware layout. Plan for a separate case if you need one with the banjo.
