Demo of a new Gold Tone WL 250 Banjo with a Scooped Neck

[2zwaantjes]

Very nice! Can you perhaps explain to me what 'scooped neck' is, and what advantages that has?

Thanks!

@2zwaantjes -look at the last few frets- they are removed respectively not installed, because you can ´frail´or clawhammer better on those instruments.

It´s only a little easier to play in those special playing styles-that´s my 2 cent but I guess I´m right :-)

@2zwaantjes - Old time frailing gets a mellower tone by going up the neck. You trade off the super high runs for getting mellow old school tone.
