Another Banjo?

Posted by pickntx on Saturday, July 14, 2007

I just got another banjo today and was wondering if anyone else has a morgan monroe cascade model mfb-5dx or has had an experience with them?  This is the one i got or i think it is and the guy at the music store didnt have any info one it to tell me what it was. It seems quite a bit heavier than the other banjo i got and seems to be a fairly nice piece. Any help fellow bho's would be greatly appreciated. Happy pickn

I think some tone rings are steel, some are copper etc which could explain the weight. However.. I know little about banjos. There are lots of guys here who could help though. Try the banjo related forum, and see if someone there knows, and post a picture or two if you can - that always helps.

Good Luck.. and thanks for your comment. :-)

Ok well photos are not great but they are in my photo album so you all can view them.

I think if this model is what i think it is, then morgan monroes web site says it has a brass tone ring.

From my limited experience with Morgan Monroes, they seem to be heavier than a lot of other banjos. I don't know why though. Jut keep pickin'.
