If you have installed another manufacturer's tone ring into a Nechville banjo, and it fits, list it here for reference purposes. Thanks!

No luck with a Dannick either -- maybe I should have tried cranking down a little longer, it's supposed to be a standard skirt and consistent with reissue Gibsons, so if a Kulesh works, it should have worked?

	gottasmilealot says: 11/14/2014 8:06:21 AM I put a recording King archtop tone ring in my Zeus, and it is supported by only the outer edge with the tone spheres removed. It sounds pretty good! The arch top design seems to offset the tubiness of the pot assembly for a pretty good result. I think I'll play it for a while. I have a Remo top frosted head on it instead of the stock renaissance head.
