Bought in 2011 from Elderly with the description below: "Bart's only model with a 12" rim - Mahogany neck, 12" diameter rim with rolled brass tone hoop and Elite Renaissance head, 26 brackets, Five Star planetary tuning pegs, adjustable truss rod, ebony fretboard (1-1/4" wide at nut, ~26 3/16" scale) scooped above 17th fret, ebony peghead overlay with pearl star inlay. Bottom edge of rim is stained black."
Banjo is 2011 serial #3478 and is in like-new condition with upgrades listed:
John Balch calf skin head, custom formed on #3478 rim
Original Elite head included
Ni-plated dowell ferrule
Iveroid tuner pegs
Arm rest
Gibson hard shell case used (resonator style, replaced handle)
Sound sample is at the "more information" link below.
Selling the Round Peak since I personally prefer Bart's 11" models, need to make room for another. Sounds great.
