I just turned the recorder on and noodled for a bit. This should give you a decent idea what this banjo sounds like up and down the neck.

I wanted to see how the HR-30 ring was settling in on this banjo.

A quick clip to show the before and after with the HR-30 upgrade. AMB strings.

Another take. I'm using AMB Cryo strings in the Huber gauges (.010/.011/.0125/.020JD/.010) as I was in the previous HR-30 clip. In the Berkshire clip with the Vintage tone ring, however, I had Huber Trutone strings on this banjo. I may change the strings this weekend and do another sound clip to see if there is a big difference.

Take #3 this time with Huber Truetone strings. I played the strings for a few hours to break them in prior to recording. Apple MacBook Pro with built-in mic.
