Some Reviews on RK R 36
...Ross, The banjo arrived earlier today in mint condition. The sound quality is like night and day different my the one I have. Thanks for all your efforts. I'm going to enjoy the new one for a very long time. Also, thanks for all your great service. Tom Joplin
...Hi Ross, My RK 36 arrived today and it is perfect - everything I had hoped it would be. I will enjoy it for many years to come. Thanks also for your CD “Evolution.” I especially like your rendition of “Early Morning Rain,” one of my favorite songs. I look forward to Fundamentals CD/DVD package, too. Best, Case

Recording King R-36 Company Description
The Recording King Madison RK-R36 is for every banjo player looking for a high-quality, great-sounding instrument that won't break the bank. The RK-R36 is built with a Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring and one-piece flange just like our best-selling RK-R35, but with a select mahogany resonator and neck. The 24-hook brass tension hoop allows the head to be adjusted to the perfect tension, and the nickel-plated hardware matches vintage Mastertone-style specs at a fraction of the price.

...Ross, I received the banjo today...sounds great! It’s a lot prettier than I thought. I will have to get used to so much volume compared to the goodtime II and learn to play with a lighter touch. Thanks, Bill Nugent.

Thanks again William Robinson Jun 22, 2016 | Received new Recording King R36 Received new Recording King R36. The packaging was good, the instrument was in excellent shape. The case is really sturdy and well padded. The banjo is a nice looking instrument. Much nicer than the pictures in your page. No blemishes or over use of glue. The 5th string capos were well placed and easy to use. The bridge was well placed which made the tuning easy. However I did replace the bridge with a snuffy smith bridge which improved the sound. The new nut (zero glide) seems to make the tuning easier and I hope will keep the banjo in tune longer. The action on the neck is really nice. Fretting is effortless. I don't have to muscle the strings. All in all I"m pleased with the instrument. Compared to the open back Bacon extended neck I was using, this is a pleasure to use. Thanks Ross your help was indispensable in helping me decide on a proper instrument. |
