Just like all of the other banjos we've received from Bart, this particular Bart Reiter Standard sports incredible build quality and no-frills looks. It is however dressed up a bit with a star inlay at the 5th fret, which is a cool touch. It has that wonderful, warm tone and the brass tone ring gives it a little extra volume and punch.
This open back features a rolled brass tone ring and a two ply laminated Maple 11" rim. The neck is Mahogany with an Ebony fretboard, and bone nut. This is a 26 1/4" scale length banjo and features a traditional peghead and a scooped neck.

This beautiful Bart Reiter Regent Banjo is a wonderful open-back, with some nice detailing including a new tortoise style binding on the inner rim edge which really compliments the Rosewood trim on the outer rim. This Whyte Laydie tone ring, a frosted 11" head, and Maple neck with an Ebony fretboard. They've added a star on the fingerboard at the 5th tuner as well. Great sound, plus this Bart Reiter Regent Banjo has a really nice elegance to it without going overboard.
