The OBJ450-SBK is a five-string banjo of the closed back type, i.e. with a closed back plate - a mahogany resonator, which makes it capable of producing a sufficiently powerful sound. It is the most affordable banjo model from the Ortega range, which features a tone ring (made of rolled brass). The instrument also features a mahogany neck, a rosewood fingerboard fitted with ornate inlays, a mahogany plywood body and a Remo black membrane attached to the rim. Lovers of tradition will be pleased with the fit of the strings in the chrome Geared tuning mechanisms, which look like classic Friction-type mechanisms but provide more stable and accurate tuning.
The banjo comes in a quality instrument case.
