I found I didnвЂ™t need to be quite so busy in order to highlight the essence of the tunes. It has the depth of tone I constantly look for, coupled with an extra sustain which is a particularly great quality for Irish banjo players as this allows our music to breathe. The instrument had a 12 inch pot and I took to it immediately. I was given a hand crafted instrument to try. вЂњHaving played and believed whole heartedly in vintage banjos all my life it was with some trepidation that I tried these brand new OME banjos. John Carty, one of IrelandвЂ™s finest traditional musicians who tours with the re-formed super group, Patrick Street, has acquired a вЂњJuniperвЂќ Irish tenor banjo and here is what he says about it: The OMEВ Sweetone tailpiece is added for modest pressure to keep the strings taught and the notes clear and shrill-free. OME set up the Irish banjo with a Renaissance head which sounds more natural and clean. The longer scale of the 19-fret tenor necks allows the banjo to have a warmer tone with clearer treble than 17-fret tenors, and the 12вЂі pot with a simple tone ring gives a bigger and mellower sound with dry clarity to the notes. To make this Irish banjo, OME use their 19-fret tenor neck with a 12вЂі open-back pot and tune it, GDAE or CGDA.
