I currently play three-finger bluegrass on an RK 36 and just love the banjo. The tone has a bell like quality I haven't heard on instruments costing five times what I paid. I also play clawhammer and looking for a good banjo that I can set up to get that "oldtime" sound. Does anyone have any experience with any of the RK models that might be suitable?

	bikeman says: 9/4/2014 8:09:24 PM Thanks again to all. I ended up buying a RK OT 25 and set it up with a Renn head, moon heavy bridge, GHS JD Crow 145's and just love the sound. I am as pleased (so far) with the OT25 as I am with the RK 36 and finding the same value for price. Again my thanks for you insights.
