banjomamas says: 1/14/2013 3:40:03 PM According to the description of the instrument, the tone ring is an HG-50. I hope that tells you something.
	BrittDLD1 says: 1/17/2013 7:37:34 AM Yes, it has the OME HG50 in it. The Southern Cross was specifically developed (along with the HG50 tonering) to provide an OME Bluegrass banjo, for 'hard-core' Scruggs- style players. In MY opinion, we hit the target, dead-on. Mike Kropp wrote a review of it, for The Banjo Newsletter. (The review is also on the OME website.)

Scroll down, until you get to the Southern Cross review. The direct HTML link to the media page is: _ omebanjos.com/media.html (You'll probably have to 'cut-and-paste' that link into your browser.)
