Hello everybody
The Ibanez Artist is a heavy loud banjo, a copy of the mastertone and built for bluegrass.
I don't play bluegrass, I like Derroll Adams and frayling sounds, also the banjo sound on Dylan's 'High Water' (great)
I have a Washburn 'Paramount' bought as a travel banjo (I think they used to be called a B10). It's easy to play and light but the sound is not good.
I've tried cloths and leather wash cloth in the resonator, better sound - tune down, that helps. Heavier strings, that helps too.
I took the resonator off, quite good but a bit thin.
I like the sound of old open back banjos
Any helpfull suggestions?
