The OBJ650-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 top model of the Raven series. It has a tone ring made of zinc alloy, a mahogany neck, a rosewood fingerboard with decorative inlays, a one-piece flange, a body made of three layers of solid maple wood, and a Remo black membrane attached to the rim. Traditionalists will be pleased with the fit of the strings in the Geared chrome tuning machines, which look like classic Friction machines but provide more stable and accurate tuning.
The banjo comes in a quality instrument case.
