Description

The Premium 12″ UTE banjo has our 12″ multi-ply maple tone rim construction, with 24 heavy rim brackets. It gives a warm, woody banjo tone with strong bass and brilliant treble and lively response throughout the entire playing range. Works well for both old-time and fingerpicking styles. The necks are made overseas and sent to UTE in Colorado for final shaping, adjusting and finishing.  Everything else is American made.

Prices and specifications subject to change without notice.  (Note: These are made and always have small imperfections. This one has some filled holes on the inside of the rim by where the stick/tailpiece attach. There is also a small scrape in that area too.)
