The Regent model upgrades his ever popular Standard 11" banjo with a Whyte Laydie tone ring.

We don't see a lot of Bart's banjos since he retired some years ago, but they remain some of our favorite banjos and we always leap at the opportunity to acquire another one of his instruments.

The Regent model upgrades his ever popular Standard 11" banjo with a maple rim and neck, and a whyte laydie tone ring. Both features add projection, clarity, and volume to the sound. The Whyte Laydie tone ring in particular adds power and substance that is apparent from the first strum.

This banjo sounds terrific solo and shines when played with others, as the heaver tone ring adds enough volume to ably compete with most other instruments. It remains in very good condition with only the faintest signs of prior ownership.
