Beautiful OME Juniper 12" open back banjo with optional walnut neck/rim and rosewood armrest.
Description courtesy of OMEBanjos.com
The JUNIPER features the OME heavy rolled brass tone-ring fitted to our 2-ply solid maple rim for increased response and volume.
The 12” size produces more warmth and bass compared to the more crisp-sounding 11" body.
The abalone and MOP floral inlays add elegance and beauty to this simple but graceful instrument, which is offered in mahogany, walnut, and curly maple woods
