Recording King banjos were designed by Greg Rich (formerly of Gibson and later of Rich and Taylor) to be a high quality instrument made in China. The historic name "Recording King" was chosen for these banjos.

The RK-R25 Madison features a simple design with a handsome fan inlay motif (or maybe it's a shell. Or a ginko leaf...). The resonator version has a tube and plate flange design. There is also an open back model (RK-O25) using bracket shoes, and having a simple dot inlay pattern. The three-ply maple rim is quite light, making this banjo quite comfortable to play. The top edge of the rim is shaped much like a flathead tone ring, and produces a clear, bright tone.

List price for the resonator RK-R25 model is $659, but please call or email info@zeppmusic.com for our prices. Temporarily Out of Stock

	The RK-R25s are maple banjos featuring a satin finish.			The maple neck has a satin finish, and a very comfortable profile.
	The peghead has a simple shape; the RK-R25, resonator model has a handsome fan inlay.			The RK-R25 tuners are planetaries for the "long" strings, and a worm and pinion-geared 5th string.
	The rosewood fingerboard of the resonator model, the RK-R25, has a fan inlay pattern and features a bone nut.			This model comes set up with a Presto style tailpiece, a Remo head, and a large armrest.
	The RK-R25 model has a tube and plate flange, so it can be easily converted to an open back. (Of course, the RK-O25 is already an openback model with bracket shoes.)			The RK-R25's maple resonator has lots of grain showing through its satin finish.
