Bridges?

From Chris Cooper on 1/14/2012 4:07:41 AM

What bridges do y'all use on your R&T's I have a Snuffy Smith on mine at the moment, I've just ordered a SS 3 to see what difference that makes.

I have a Snuffy Smith right now. I have tried several, different SS, carolina acoustics and many more I can't think of at the moment. I keep coming back to the original Snuffy Smith.

Did R&T's come with a Snuffy Smith from the factory?

I used a SS bridge for years. When I switched to a no name, the banjo came to life! I found a bridge that tapers to a thin top. Lots more pop.
The best way to decide is to go to a shop and try a few. The one I found had been discarded by someone else. Their loss was my gain!
I later switched out my well worn 5star head for a Remo Weatherking. This was like turbo charging it! Tennessee 20s can sound awesome with the right setup.

I'm using a Curtis McPeake .656" Lightning Bolt on my 1994 Sonny Osborne Satin Gold, 10 Hole Kulesh Ring sounds awesome !!! Prewar Sound.
