I'm going to have to fight you for it, after all it is a hoss! It has one of those BURLILE rings in it, ya know!

I think the Berlile rings are very nice , they have a pleasing sound to them , my goodness the way people talk about them makes my heart giddy with excitment , Oh please is there someone who can point me in the right direction to purchase one of these tonerings . My mom is going to have milk a cookies later on this afternoon does anyone want to come over a play some Ho down music. !

A while back I found an old Remo I put on OLE #7 Kenny Ingram model with the Burlile ring. Well I had to change the bridge to get it sounding better, but It still was not kickin like it should. A couple of weeks ago I cranked the head a bit tighter and it seemed to bring it back to life. I think it is about an A tuning as best I can tell. But it does tell off on you if you don't fret good and clean. But that is a good thing.

Keep on Keepin on

That's enough excitment for this hour !

DJ at this time I have the Snuffy Smith III on it. I tried to e-mail David Wadsworth Awhile back but I guess it didn't get thru. I want to try some more of his bridges, I think Kenny and some others found the old piano bridge to work well for them with that Burlile ring.
I hadn't disappeared just lurking.

Dave I think that is all Will is using on them noe the Wadsworth piano Bridge.

do yu have the right address Davisd he normally getds back with me very quickly I have his
piano bridges on all my banjos now

One thing that doesnt get mentioned here very much is how much knowledge of prewar Gibson banjos Jim Burlile has. The man knows some interesting facts about them as well as every specification from the smallest screw to the littlest neck detail. He is a pleasure to talk too on the phone. I have learned alot from the man.

It is quite clear that the burlile ring improves sustain

"ever searching for that special post-war / pre-submerged sound"

Beartrack/ Burlile/ Dannick/ Kulesh/ Venom/ Rings. (alphabetical order---)



(Sing along with me here to the old John Lennon tune ---)
All we are saying --- is give Rings a chance!!

I've only heard one Burlile powered banjo in person...and that was with Kenny Ingram at the helm. He is such a tone monster, its hard to really judge the ring from just hearing him, as I suspect he would pull tone out of a banjo with NO tonering. Saying that, the ring sure sounded good in his banjo. Its the depth of the tone that seems to set it apart from others...the Yates banjo sounds similiar to me in Ron Stewarts hands. Its got that deep POP with good note seperation.

Regardless of the ring, the fact that players have become willing to pay $1000-1500++ for a tonering reflects just how important a lot of people view the tone ring as being.
