I've owned my RK35 almost a year and I'm still in love. I've owned some great American banjos like Gibson, Yates, and Huber. I believe these are nearly that good with the right setup. I have an RK36 coming next week from a BHO member and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

	brakeslide says: 3/23/2015 2:57:57 PM I just bought an RK-35 to be a leave at work, take camping, back of my motorcycle banjo so I can leave my Stelling at home out of harms way. IMO the RK will never replace my Stelling in quality or sound but I gotta say I was pretty pleased with how nice this little banjo is. I think you would be hard pressed to find another banjo in this price range of this caliber.

	TennesseeBanjoMan says: 4/28/2015 11:10:59 AM I have a custom Bales banjo, a Gibson RB-4, and a late 60's Baldwin Ode, all three haven't been out of their cases since I got my RK-35 back in January, I threw some Keith tuners on it and it's the perfect banjo
	orioletb1 says: 4/28/2015 11:17:16 AM That's exactly what I mean! I just bought a 1930 style 1 that could compete with some original flatheads, otherwise my RKs would be getting played a lot more. Just tremendous banjos and these early ones will be very collectible in decades to come.
