Ortega OBJ250-SBK Raven Series 5 String Banjo, Black Overview
The Ortega OBJ250-SBK Raven Series 5 String Banjo is captivating in every possible way. Not only does it dazzle from first glance, but it is also a dream to play, allowing for sleek, smooth transitions from fret to fret. Versatile in nature and mesmerising in sound, the mahogany resonator, neck, and rim deliver a superbly warm tone that is as rich as it is clear, meaning that every note you play will ring out with gorgeously crisp articulation.
As well as the sublime tone of mahogany, you'll also have the sonic capabilities of a Remo Fiberskyn head. Its low-end frequency response produces a warm tone that has depth and fullness, whilst its glistening sustain ensures every note rings out beautifully. And thanks to the satin black finish, gleaming, chrome plated hardware, and exquisitely engraved armrest, this Ortega masterpiece looks just as good as it sounds.
