Well, I am almost ready to order a new Galax. I have never owned a Reiter .

Can anyone give me some ideals on the sound and playability of the Galax???

I do own two 12" banjos with no tone rings.

Thanks

Truth be told if I could trade my Sagmoen for another Reiter, I'd do it. I know a lot of folks really like Sagmoen banjos...but for me, it just doesn't fit...right now.

I had this Reiter setup with a renaissance head and no knot tailpiece. In my opinion, a calfskin head and a tailpiece that adds down pressure to the strings would make a sweeter tone.
