Hey everyone. I've got a Red Fox with the TP rim and very happy with it. A while back I bought a 3 ply Stelling rim 5358 that I thought about switching to see which one I liked the best. As time went on I haven't done anything with it because don't know if I want to go to all the trouble of swapping and then switching back if I liked the TP better. My question is what to expect as a difference in the two rims. Anyone have a preference. If I decide to just forget about the rim swapping what can I expect to get for the 3 ply rim if I were to sell it. Thanks for any suggestions.

It is a great banjo. I also had a Fox that had the TP rim, which I wished I had kept also. I love both of the rims. I have never heard a bad Stelling!
