Customer Reviews
I ordered the hard maple block rim blank to finish to size on my own 12" metal lathe. A great value and quality product. Love how the banjo sounds. Will try something else in the future. I've had 2 RB-250's and a 90's Style 6 for reference.
Good Job! Love it , beautiful work
All I can say is wow!!!
This Torrified hard maple block Rim made by Lemon Banjos has allowed my Banjo to open up , Give me that 4th string Growl with clean defined notes all the up the neck !
It also gave my banjo that open hollow Pre-war sound as well.
Ive always desired to have a prewar Mastertone Banjo , but as the old saying goes ....poor people have poor ways However this is NOT the case with this Rim .
I can say that just the Rim swap gave me that instant PRE-WAR sound !
My banjo with the Lemon Torrified Hard Maple Block Rim was compared to a 1928 Pre-war Mastertone and you honestly can not hear any difference in the tone.
This Lemon Block Rim sits under a Huber Vintage Ring with a prewar setup that will blow your socks off !!!
If You've been searching for that Pre-War sound you are at the right place , just do yourself a favor and get cha one !!
For the record I have Hunter @ Lemon Banjos Making me another Rim For another Banjo , I promise You wont be disappointed !
Excellent quality and great communications!
Mr. Lemon has always been courteous to what I want. He built this custom osage rim for a longneck banjo I’ve been building. I have everything I need to do my projects except a lathe for rim building. He is the only person I turn to for my rims and this is because he does exceptional work. I couldn’t think of any other luthier that would custom build banjo parts like this. He is amazing. The reason why I wanted such a strange and unconventional rim is because I built my first banjo out of walnut and osage. The rim was not very round and not well made, but sounded great in drop C and in open D, and I wanted an expert made rim to have the same tone as the very first project I made. Mr. Lemon was the only guy I turned to because I know he makes great things.
