This 12" Ode Magician has just come in on trade! We sold the banjo when it was new; and it's been very well kept by its original owner. The Ode Magician features a 12” slightly heavier, curly maple multi-ply tone-rim that is bound with simulated tortoise shell and capped in black. It also features a heavy notched brass tension hoop, 24 rim brackets, and a solid cherry and ebony neck to give a rich and powerful 19th-century vintage banjo tone. The sound is super clean and clear, with minimal echo. Pull-offs and hammer-ons are effortless with Ode's low action and quick and lively voice.
