The Bart Reiter Standard is made with evident world class craftsmanship that you can't touch for the money with any other instrument. Bart is one of the great characters in our business and does things his way which fortunately is exactly and precisely right. Workmanship on these is flawless and if feels like quality in your hands.
This is loud, complex, silky to play with a fine, haunting, complex voice and it excels at Old Time picking and frailing. Much warmer and much lighter than a resonator banjo. Includes a top of the line hardshell case. I play a Standard and think they are the best open back banjo value on the planet.
Fine open back banjos have a sweeter and more complex voice than resonators and they aren't quite as loud so practicing isn't as hard on your significant other or your dog. They have a very beautiful, ethereal and haunting voice when played slowly and allowed to ring out, but if you dig in they are loud enough to wake up uncle Bubba.
