Ome Juniper 12" Open Back 5-String Banjo
The OME Juniper is a beautifully handcrafted open-back banjo designed for players who appreciate refined artistry, premium tonewoods, and expressive old-time performance. Its hand-selected walnut neck offers a smooth, warm playing feel, accentuated by custom abalone inlay and elegant Victorian styling. Precision Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuners ensure exceptional tuning accuracy, while a sculpted S-curve clawhammer scoop provides comfortable access for traditional playing techniques.
A 12" walnut 2-ply rim paired with a rolled brass tone ring and Remo Renaissance head delivers a warm, mellow response with articulate clarity and projection. The aged brass hardware, tortoise-shell binding, and ebonite rim cap further elevate its aesthetic appeal. Built on OME’s renowned rim-stick coordinator rod system, the Juniper offers stability, resonance, and a responsive voice ideal for clawhammer and old-time styles.
