Hi everyone,
I'm looking to reduce the weight of my 1990 Gibson Mastertone tenor banjo (serial # 3-9009-128, standard 3-ply maple rim). I play Dixieland in a street band, and the heavy brass setup is getting a bit too demanding for long strolling gigs.
I am looking for one of the following options:
A lightweight drop-in replacement tone ring (e.g., aluminum flathead ring like a Mitch's Mate or similar) that fits a standard Gibson 11" 3-ply rim cut for a 20-hole flathead.
A conversion set/ring to convert it to a lighter hoop/brass rod setup without modifying or altering the original rim.
The item must be easily shippable to Belgium (Europe). I will, of course, cover all international shipping costs and custom fees.
If you have a suitable lightweight tone ring or conversion option available—or if you build/sell them—please send me a PM with your offer, photos, and estimated shipping costs.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Werner
