With aplogies to all my resonator banjo playing friends... I've become an open back player. It's like being rejuvinated. All the fun, with no back pain and no migraines from neck strain. I'm like a kid again. I've played several in the past, but none of the factory made open backs did anything for me, being much too tame and quiet. That all changed when I got my Helix Sunbeam rim s/n 3. Paired with my Hazen neck and nick named the Helicaster, it's an AMAZING banjo. Loud. Louder into a microphone than my professional banjo. Lighter than my Goodtime. My wife said it has a tone like a honky-tonk piano, and my bandmates love it for our music. I've used it at a bluegrass jam and at every gig since putting it together, in early October. I'm an official convert :)
