Ross Nickerson Recording King RK R76 Elite Banjo Video
The demo video on this page I am playing the RK 75. The 75 and 76 are exactly the same banjo. The only difference is the RK R76 has the scrolled writing on the peghead and hearts and flowers inlay, same as Earl Scruggs's Gibson Mastertone. The RK 75 is a replica of the old Gibson Flying Eagle Inlay Pattern and has the Recording King written in a block on the Peghead.
Recording King RK 76
Modeled after the original Mastertone banjos of the 1930's, the Recording King RK-Elite offers players vintage sound and handcrafted construction. Professional components like a classic Mastertone-style tone ring, true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim and nitrocellulose lacquer finish put this banjo in a category by itself. With classic design features like the vintage-style double-cut Recording King peghead and custom Hearts & Flowers-style peghead and fretboard inlay, this banjo proudly carries forward the tradition of one of history's most revered instrument manufacturers.

Hi Ross! Your educational videos have been so incredibly insightful -- filling in a lot of missing areas for me. Even though I'm still learning, I gave myself permission to update my profile with my beautiful banjo. I have a healthy obsession with my new instrument....can't thank you enough!
The hard case that comes with the Elite 76 is awesome. They fit tight, have a perfectly balanced and well padded handle like the old Gibson cases and an arched top.

C John Feb 10, 2019 | My new RK R-76 Just wanted to say Thank You for the great customer service that your team provided during my recent purchase of the RK R-76. I had the zero glide nut and a shubb standard 5th string capo installed. The fit and finish along with the playability are outstanding. I have ordered several banjo related items in the past, but this has been the largest purchase to date. Thanks again and keep up the good work your FIVE STAR company is providing. Take Care!John Coble North Myrtle Beach, SC |

Paul Holstine Mar 28, 2018 | I could not be happier Ross, Just wanted to let you know that I received the RK Elite 76 with the zero glide nut and the Snuffy Smith bridge and I could not be happier. The banjo and the setup was spot on, it sounds amazing. The banjo is better than the player right now but it is a joy to play. The customer service that you provide is second to none, I was really impressed when I called and you answered the phone. Good customer is hard to find these days but you succeed in that as well. Thank you for a very pleasurable experience, I will come to you for all of my banjo needs and will definitely recommend you to others. 5 stars all the way around. Thanks again, Paul Holstine |

H Randy Apr 21, 2017 | Awesome Banjo and Awesome Service I consider myself a newbie with the banjo though I have played guitar for over 40 years. I was using a Fender 54 banjo that I thought was pretty good but wanted something a little more -- a little more "inspirational". I had purchased some banjo supplies from Ross Nickerson's Banjoteacher.com online store and have been very pleased with both the products and service as well as his online banjo lessons. I checked out Mr. Nickerson's list of banjos he had on his online store and after some research it came down to two banjos I was interested in. So I emailed Mr. Nickerson to see which he thought might be best for me. I gave him a little background information in my email. Mr. Nickerson responded right away and wished to speak to me by phone. Anyway, to shorten things up, he called me and we discussed which banjo might be best for me. After answering some questions as well as sharing some information, I decided on the Recording King RK-76. Once we made the deal, Mr. Nickerson told me he would include several learning DVD's which he thought might prove beneficial in my quest to become a banjo player. My new banjo arrived a few days later. It was absolutely beautiful! I immediately noticed the weight difference between the RK and my Fender. The RK was much more solid than my Fender. As soon as my fingers pressed on the strings and I strummed it for the first time, wow! With the sound that came out, I knew I had made the right choice. The ease of finger to string to fret board was incredible. The sound not only rang out but sustained beautifully. Ross did me well. Thank you so much Mr. Nickerson!!!! I appreciated your help and information in assisting me in my selection of this great instrument!! |
