We're always pleasantly surprised whenever we open up a new shipment of Rickard banjos. Their Dobson model has been one of their top sellers and this curly maple upgrade version is spectacular. The Dobson model also features an 11" rim, 25.5" scale, frailing scoop and antiqued brass hardware (to go with that Dobson-style tone ring). Wonderful, old-time cluckiness, and a fat note attack -- retained even when the banjo is played muted with a cloth inside the pot. Priced with Superior brand hard case.

In the the video, Lucas Poole is playing a previously sold Dobson with similar specs.
