The raised inner profile of the archtop tone ring results in a slightly smaller banjo head vibrational area. This gives a piercing tone with extra snap: the Stanley sound for bluegrass, and brilliant 4-string jazz rhythm. Machined from cast bell-bronze alloy with 11"-diameter Mastertone archtop dimensions. Nickel-plated.
A low crown or medium crown banjo head is usually required for this tone ring.
