There's nothing I dislike about the sound at all Very full, nice amount of sustain, loud with fantastic tone. My Juniper tenor has a 12 inch pot with a rolled brass tonering and as such it has a warm and slightly mellow sound. Price Paid: 2000 ($US) (bought USED) Sound Submitted by ruraltradpunk ( see all reviews from this person) on Anyway, great banjo - be careful if you buy one! If you go to the Eagle annual Krueger Brothers day in Huddersfield, you will hear them endlessly promoting their "focus on customer service" - now rings a little hollow for me. I don't know who to be annoyed at - Eagle or Ome? Apart from anything else, they had already agreed (contracted) to add the name plate for $250. About 6 weeks before delivery Eagle were in touch to tell me that "apparently, I had been given incomplete information" and that the addition of a simple name plate meant the otherwise standard banjo was now a "custom model and that the price would go up significantly" I never found out by how much as I cancelled the nameplate order. I thought this a little pricey (nearly 10% of the total cost) but agreed. Eagle checked with OME and came back saying yes but the charge would be $250. Price gauging - beware! About a month into the 10 month lead time from order, I requested the addition of a simple name plate. Great banjo but rubbish customer focus and service. Only got in touch with Ome after purchase.
