i have been looking at some Bacon &Day banjos some of them have metal on the wood inside does anyone know why they did that? and how it affects the sound?
i attached a photo
It is not metal. It is silver paint. I first noticed the silver paint on Silver Bell models, but have seen the silver paint on lesser grade Bacon banjos.

I have both a 5 string and 4 string B&D Special #1. Both have silver paint on the inside.
Not metal. Silver paint. This also to be one of the Bacon banjos made by Gretsch.
Because it isn't metal, I doubt it has any more effect on sound than a typical finish.
Thanks alot guys iem wery happy to hear that ??????
