The LM-1 is a remake of the old prewar banjos that did not
use the standard style tone rings. Over the years, many of
the ole banjos have been converted and cut for tone rings,
forever losing the treasure of tone that they have to
offer. With the conversion of these old banjos, the brass
hoops found themselves hanging of the walls of the
luthiers. We at Yates, decided that this style of
banjo is too good to be forgotten. We have designed
a way to put these hoops back in circulation. As long as
supply lasts, we will put the antiques back into the
banjos.
The Yates LM-1 has a warm wood tone that in no way lacks
volume. Its projection and carry power does not play
second to the tone ring style of banjos. In fact,
the LM-1 has almost no overtones that plague tone ring
style banjos. If you want a lower cost, light weight
(less than 3 pounds), great playing banjo, try the Yates
LM-1 |
