Description

Similar to the Rambler Dobson but with a few upgrades. The Rambler Special is available in Walnut, Maple, or Cherry, this banjo comes with an Aged Copper or Aged Brass rim in 11″ or 12″. The softer metal gives this banjo a little warmer tone, while maintaining sustain and projection. It also features a vintage style headstock and upgraded shoes. Another upgrade to this banjo is the Pisgah Hawk Tail tailpiece. This allows for more downward pressure on the bridge so that there is better clarity on each note.
