Anybody here play a Regal? How do they compare to the other high-end CE banjos (Special XX, Paragon, Professional)? The hollow rim is an interesting design.
Well I grabbed one, but it's a tenor! Should be great for my Irish playing. From the clips I have it sounds nearly identical to a Paragon, although it has better bass response. Is there any tone ring on top of the beveled rim, or does the head just sit on the beveled wood?
