The Recording King RKOH-05 Dirty Thirties Open Back is a five-string banjo with an open back. The traditional design is reminiscent of instruments from the 1930s. Old blues, folk and jazz is what this instrument is very suitable for. The so-called open-back model gives the banjo an authentic sound. The sound is less direct and bright than banjos with a closed back. This makes the RKOH-05 a good choice for music where the banjo is less dominant. The appearance of this banjo is inspired by models from a bygone era and ensures that the RKOH-05 has a beautiful appearance. - Equipped with new banjo strings
