1) BELL
BRONZE PRE-WAR ALLOY TONE RING…GTR TONE RING…For over a year over we
experimented with bronze alloys. The pre-war tone ring from (the holy
grail of the bluegrass tone), was actually at least 3 different bronze
alloy formulas, depending upon the year of manufacturer. We discovered
these 3 alloys, had tone rings made with each formula, and chose the
bronze alloy content with the most penetrating tone. To my knowledge,
only brass tone rings banjos are available from our competitors.
2) RB
12 TONE RING SHAPE… After extensive testing we found this shape to be
tone superior. The top edge is rounded, compared to the typical sharp
angle on the common flat top ring. The rounded edge adds more contact
area for vibration transference and actually allows the head to be tuned
tighter if desired. The original and our ring look and sound amazing
similar.
