Ome's Description

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 than the smaller 11" size, which is a bit brighter and crisper.

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.
