The RK-50 is a simple model by Recording King, having no tone ring, though it does have a one-piece flange. This makes it significantly lighter than most resonator banjos. In addition to being super light and comfortable, this banjo has surprisingly good tone and lots of volume!

With a hardshell case, it lists at $1199. Please call for price.

	The Recording King peghead has their block logo and a fan inlay to match that of the fingerboard.			The tuners are smooth planetaries.
	The R50 comes with a Remo brand frosted head on its 3-ply maple rim, and sounds great right out of the box!			The RK-50 is a mahogany instrument.
	The tastefully bound, rosewood fingerboard has an equally tasteful fan inlay pattern.			This model has a one-piece, mahogany neck.
	The mahogany resonator has very nice figure and two purfling rings.			While there is no metal tone ring atop the 3-ply maple rim, the top of the rim is shaped to simulate that profile, and, with its one-piece flange, it produces remarkable tone!
