Just got my new Yates RS Mahogany 2 weeks ago. Bought it from Strings in Bristol, Tn. Set-up was a little off due to the banjo being in the store a while and settling. After a few adjustments and checks recommended by Warren this thing is Bad Ass. I have had Hubers, Osborne Chiefs, and Gibsons, but the RS has the most balanced and "old" sound that I have played before. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Warren and plan on a visit to the shop in the near future just to see where they are made and have Warren to check things out on my set-up. This is the sound that I have been looking for and I think this banjo will be in my hands for a long, long time.

I've had my mahogany RS for two years and it has opened up so much since I first got it. It is now a monster. Keep it set-up nicely and pick the hound out of it and it will get better and better.
