Brand new 2022 Ome Minstrel 12" Vherry banjo, setup and ready.  Ome describes the Minstrel as follows:

    The MINSTREL, like the Tupelo, gives a warm and woody Old-Timey sound. With a solid Cherry neck featuring a scrolled peg head and Mother-of-Pearl shell inlay in the Frailing scoop, this model is fashioned after the American Antebellum banjos. The 2-ply solid Cherry rim is 9/16” thick and is capped with black Ebonite and bound with simulated Tortoise shell. A varnish finish is hand-rubbed generously and then sealed. The OME 12” Tone Rim construction combined with less brackets and wood rim-rod produce our “woodiest” Old-Time banjo tone. The MINSTREL is made with the same care and precision as other OME instruments and comes with a deluxe hard-shell case, and Limited Lifetime Warranty.
