Very cool banjo

[@jamescannon1750]

Bridge is closer to dead center. Tone ring? Looks like maybe brass rod? Rim thickness? Looks like maybe half inch or 5/8?

[@Prajnana]

Yes, these details are important. Block or laminate rim? Did he say a 12" (looks like it)? 25.5" scale length?

I love the tone of this banjo…and it is just so graceful

How does this banjo compare in tone and playability to the similar BC-350? I must admit, compared to your other higher end open backs that have much clearer differences between them I'm struggling to see exactly how the High Moon sets itself apart other than aesthetics. (Not that aesthetics aren't important!) Given the stated long-term design process that went into this banjo I feel like a lot of words have gone into describing it as unique (boutique, handcrafted, etc...) without really making it clear *how* it stands out from its neighbors.

"I've never seen an angled scoop like that" Gold Tone just can't stop themselves from stealing from history and trying to patent stuff that isn't theirs....
