General

The Recording King RK-OT25-BR Old-Time Open Back Banjo is a high-quality banjo that was inspired by models from the olden days. It's a unique open-back model that delivers a warmer sound that's less direct than a traditional banjo with a closed back. The Old-Time Open Back Banjo fits right in with authentic 'old-time' blues, folk and jazz music, which is where the instrument gets its name. The banjo head is a Remo Fiberskyn, a name that's known for high quality and clarity. The Recording King RK-OT25-BR doesn't only look like an authentic banjo straight from the twenties, it sounds like one too!

Recording King

Recording King has been designing guitars and banjos since the 1930's, a period also known as the Golden Age for musical craftsmanship, and instruments developed in this period are among the most respected and desirable ever made. Today, Recording King's instruments are manufactured in the United States and in China. Guitars and banjos carrying the Recording King name ensure you years of playing pleasure. Not only that, but these instruments are often passed on from generation to generation; such is Recording King's quality. Along with guitars and banjos, Recording King also make lap steel and resonator guitars.

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.
