OB-250+TP Gold Tone Orange Blossom Banjo with JLS #12 tone ring

The "plus" in the Gold Tone OB-250+TP Orange Blossom is the JLS #12 tone ring. Developed by master caster Jim Stull, this tone ring is the result of years of analyzing many prewar tone rings. This long-skirt tone ring improves the contact between the neck, the rim and the tone ring, increasing the transmission of energy from the pot to the neck. It mimics the tone of costly originals at a tiny fraction of the cost. The OB-250+TP adds the Tony Pass/Schaefer birch (recovered from the bottom of Lake Superior) block-style rim for an even more powerful tone.
