Custom Tony Pass "Woodie" rim

This is a very special banjo. The two-piece resonator flange permits the player to remove the resonator and flange and use the instrument as an open back banjo for clawhammer playing.

It has no tone ring. Instead, the special Tony Pass "Woodie" rim is constructed in such a way that the banjo has a tone very much like one of our banjos with a tone ring, but without the additional weight of the tone ring. The volume and power is also very similar.

Its relatively light weight makes this model the preferred instrument for players with back problems.
