Description
The
Orange Blossom OB-250AT model includes a forty-hole sand cast bell
brass arch top tone ring fitted to a 3-ply Canadian maple rim. This
well-equipped configuration produces more penetrating highs and volume
compared to those achieved with a conventional flat top tone ring. For
banjoists who are familiar with the flat top sound and are looking for a
brighter sound that will "cut through" in bluegrass jams, this model is
answer!
