Recording King RKT-05 Dirty 30s Open Back Tenor Banjo

The Recording King Dirty 30’s Tenor Banjo is for players looking to add a traditional tenor vibe to their sound, and it’s the perfect crossover instrument for mandolin, violin, viola and cello players.

The tenor banjo first came to prominence in the early 1900’s, and its C-G-D-A tuning is especially well suited for folk, Celtic and Dixieland music.

The narrow 19-fret neck makes playing easy, and the 23″ scale delivers the perfect combination of comfort and crisp clarity. The open-back rim features 16 brackets holding down a REMO Fiberskyn head for the classic period-correct tenor sound.
