Rickard Dobson , Great Quality Banjo

Very happy with my Rickard Dobson. Excellent quality, and attention to detail. Great sound and very loud. I was impressed with the notches used on the rim to keep the brackets in place. I also like the way they used ebony on the fret board and rim accent . I have a Pisgah also, I cant see much difference between the two I have. This is the 2nd Banjo purchased for Banjo Studio, they have been great to work with and very good prices.

Sweet Banjo, beautifully crafted

I really am enjoying this Dobson tone ring open back 5-string. It has a deep mellow, sustained sound, combined with the volume normally only heard with a resonator backed banjo. I have several open-backed models (Deering, Epiphone, Bart Reiter) and a Deering Sierra ... but this is fast becoming my “go to” banjo due to sound, action (5/8 bridge added by Rickard), vintage look and light weight!
