The combination of an 11" Cherry rim, brass rod tonering, Renaissance head, 'Rickard' adjustable tailpiece and a little 'Ballard' magic have created one extremely powerful banjo. I'm keeping the exact measurements of this banjo for my next personal build!
I'll be cracking on with Tony's 'Boucher' and Graham's tackhead whilst I allow Ron's banjo to settle for a week or so before final tweaking.
