Regular price SOLD
We are now operating by appointment. Learn more here.
While we think all Ome banjos are beautiful, this one has some especially nice flame maple on the neck and rim.
A rolled brass ring gives the Mira a subtle boost in brightness without adding too much weight.
Ome's Description
The Mira features the OME rolled brass tone ring fitted to our 12”, 2-ply solid maple rim to produce our clearest, brightest old-time banjo tone.
The Mira’s neck has a radiused ebony fingerboard with 17 frets and an S-scoop. Select curly maple tonewoods, classic abalone and MOP shell inlays in the peghead, fingerboard, and heel cap, make the Mira an exceptional instrument.
