Nickel plated brass, 3/16" thick, 9/16" high, for standard 11" O.D. banjo rims. Made with the same tooling as many T hoops used on pre-war professional banjos. A strong & heavy brass T hoop is an important factor in good banjo sound as it enables the head to be tensioned correctly and has its own acoustic properties. |
