The heart of the bluegrass banjo, delivering solid traditional sound with clarity and plenty of punch. Our high quality rim outfit has been a favorite of professional banjomakers for many years.
A traditional one-piece cast alloy resonator flange and our 11"-diameter bell-bronze tone rings are fitted to a high quality 3-ply maples rim. Bracket hooks, hex nuts with wrench, and a notched brass tension hoop complete the outfit.

All metal parts are nickel-plated and the wood rim is ready for finishing. This traditional Mastertone-style pot fits our bluegrass banjo neck. Banjo head is not included.
Available with your choice of Five-Star bell-bronze tone rings:
Flathead, for a deep crisp powerful tone at lower frets, with great clarity at higher positions.
Archtop, with a raised inner profile for a more piercing tone--the Stanley bluegrass sound.
