The Richwood Master Series open back banjo is especially suited to the more mellow folk style of clawhammer playing. Because of the open back, the sound is softer than a traditional banjo with a resonator. As with all Master Series banjos, the RMB-405 is a very stable instrument with 24 brackets, quality wood and parts, ensuring a lifetime of musical enjoyment .
