Clips of 3 prewar banjos. Which one is the two-piece flange? (hint: it's a mahogany style 4 AT)

No question about it...NO 2! The sound and depth came through very quickly especially up the neck and the ending!! I'm partial to the Mahogany sound!! None are dogs, but I would love to set up no.3 and put on a fivestar!

I liked No. 3 the best...and that picker has some potential!>LOL, j/k! Thanks for posting the clips, all were great, just that in my ears the style 11 had the "extra" brush...that also made me think you liked the tone of that one the best? Subconsciously........???

Jim, I'd say that #1 is your 2pc flange Style 4 archtop. I liked the sound of all three banjos, but for my tastes, #2 sounded the best. Nice comparison.

Interesting, very interesting. I am glad I gave a listen. I think before I make any judgment, it would be helpful to know the head tensions of these banjos. I know that archies can sound quite "flat-heady" with a looser head.
