Recording King Dirty 30's Tenor Banjo: Reviving a Century-Old Tradition for Today's Musicians
The Dirty 30's Tenor Banjo from Recording King elegantly blends a rich history spanning 100 years with the contemporary, robust vibe of the Dirty 30's line.

This tuning arrangement excellently accommodates a variety of music styles, including folk, Celtic, and Dixieland music.
