Recording King RKT-05 – Dirty 30s Tenor BanjoThe Recording King RKT-05 is a distinctive 4-string tenor banjo from the Dirty 30s series, designed for players looking for the authentic appearance and sound of a classic tenor banjo. The open-back construction, natural finish and traditional details give the instrument a vintage character, while the compact tenor scale provides a direct and comfortable playing experience.General DescriptionThe RKT-05 features an open-back banjo construction with a multi-ply wooden rim. The maple neck is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard featuring 19 frets and simple position markers. The combination of the wooden rim and open-back design produces a characteristic, warm and direct banjo tone.The banjo is equipped with a maple/ebony bridge and a traditional Presto-style tailpiece. The nickel-plated hardware provides a striking contrast with the natural finish and gives the instrument a classic appearance. The adjustable coordinator rod also allows for precise control and adjustment of the instrument's construction and setup.With its four strings and 23-inch scale length, the RKT-05 differs clearly from a traditional 5-string bluegrass banjo. The tenor banjo is particularly well suited to traditional jazz, Dixieland, folk, Irish music and other styles where a compact, clear and rhythmic banjo sound is desired.Playing ExperienceThe 23-inch scale length makes the RKT-05 comfortable to play and provides a relatively compact neck. The 4-string configuration offers a different playing experience compared to a 5-string banjo, making this instrument particularly interesting for players specifically looking for a tenor banjo.The open-back construction gives the RKT-05 a more open and natural response. The tone is clear and direct, with plenty of character for both melodic playing and rhythmic accompaniment. This makes it a versatile instrument for both beginners to the tenor banjo and musicians looking to add an authentic 4-string banjo to their collection.Technical SpecificationsModel: RKT-05Brand: Recording KingSeries: Dirty 30sType: Tenor BanjoNumber of Strings: 4Construction: Open BackRim: Multi-ply WoodNeck: MapleFingerboard: RosewoodNumber of Frets: 19Scale Length: 23 inchesNut: BoneBridge: Maple/EbonyTailpiece: Presto-styleCoordinator Rod: AdjustableHardware: Nickel-platedFinish: NaturalA characterful 4-string tenor banjo with an authentic appearance and traditional specifications, ideal for jazz, folk, traditional music and enthusiasts of vintage-inspired banjos.Carefully packaged and shipped quickly.
