Banjo Richwood RMB-405

Richwood RMB-405

The banjo is a four-, five-, or six-stringed instrument with a thin membrane stretched over a frame or cavity as a resonator, called the head, which is typically circular. The membrane is typically made of plastic, although animal skin is still occasionally used. Early forms of the instrument were fashioned by Africans in the United States, adapted from African instruments of similar design.

Richwood guitar company have been making guitars and other musical instruments since 1979. Only the finest quality tonewood are selected to make Richwood musical instruments.

The Richwood Master Series open back banjo is particularly suited for the more mellow folk style of clawhammer playing. Because of the open back, the sound is softer than that of a traditional banjo with a resonator. As with all Master Series banjos the RMB-405 is a very stable instrument with 24 brackets, quality wood and parts, ensuring a lifetime of musical pleasure.
