The RK-R35 Madison Maple Banjo (2024)

[@Quigg59]

Jim is the best teacher for regular folks. I am not a great player but he helped Me SO much. And I have fun

[@chrisrobbins2632]

JP never ceases to amaze me.

I own one of these and it's an amazing instrument. My first and last banjo as far as I'm concerned.

Jim Pankey!!!

[@kennybryson6542]

I have the R-36 and love it!! P.S. Jim doesn’t take requests but he can be bribed…… 😂

These are wonderful banjos. I don't play five-string banjo but play tenor banjo. I own a Madison RK -R36T. Nicest banjo I have ever owned and wish they would bring it back and also offer it with a 17 fret version. I have also made a Franken-banjo out of a neck from another one where the pot and assembly was destroyed with the pot from the Madison old time where the neck was destroyed. Wonderful banjos for sure.

I need a TAB for Careless Whisper! Sounds great 😮

Think how much better you'll feel if you work it out on your own.

Might be a nice upgrade from my RKH-05.

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

Totally! It could be the last one you ever need

[@jmills60]

@@RecordingKingOfficial Unless I found an M-5 😂

It’s a Madison ! What would you expect ?

[@bomark2002]

After watching your other videos and researching I keep seeing the RK-35’s, 36’s and 75 elites, I’ve got rid of my old Gold Tone BG-250F and looking at either the 35 or 36 or maybe sell a kidney and use the extra money to get the RK-75. 😳

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

all 3 are great, but you won't grow out of the 35 or 36 quickly

[@garyblair1853]

That is a great sounding banjo , does that have something different done to it ??

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

Nope, it's bone stock

[@peterjohnson724]

It sounded good. Then they gave it to Jim Pankey and it sounded great!🤣

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

@@peterjohnson724 haha yup
