I'm thinking of getting the timbertronic tone ring and using my resonator Nechville for oldtime as well as bluegrass.

Anyone tried this? Results?

Thanks

Joe

I have it set up specifically for playing different styles. I am really happy with it. My teacher plays both styles with resonater banjo as well. He said he was trying to get the sound I have out if his Deering. He uses a fiberskin head and custom bridge. I use a rennasaince head and recently went with a lighter bridge string combo and tightened up tge head good and like it. It responds to lighter touches more loudly for frailing and gives a great bluegrassy sound for picking. I went with GHS 140 strings. Tom built me a 25 gram bridge .770 tall at the notch at the third stringe. Great combo.
