arm rests

From willp on 3/27/2019 8:23:38 PM

What are your suggestions for adding an arm rest to a Bart Reiter standard banjo?

Do you have an arm rest? Do you need one? What kind works best for a Bart? Thanks

I have owned a few top end BRs but sold them for 12" Ramseys (3) . Really no significant difference in pot hardware. Assuming it's an 11" pot, it's all a matter of preference and style.

I also play Irish tenor and have arm rests on all my tenors but keep my open backs naked.

My suggestion is to purchase a cheap one like:
ebay.com/p/H1-Single-Leg-Banjo...erReviews

and see how you like it. Then you could invest in
stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts...Vega.html

or

stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts...rest.html

Most clawhammer players seem to prefer no rest. YMMV.
