Same Customer after receiving the RK R 35
Received my new Recording King RK 35 from your Company. Well packaged and the Banjo is flawless. WOW!, what a clear crisp sound. You did an excellent job in setting up this Banjo. The notes are much clearer than my old one. The notes really "pop" out at you. I took a chance on purchasing this Banjo without first playing it, but I could not be happier. Thanks again for your time and expertise in helping me select the right Banjo for my needs. This one is a keeper Sincerely, Kim Barnes

We are professionals! We play banjo, know how to set up a banjo properly, have the ability to add custom options and we back up each sale with personalized, professional, knowledgeable service. We add an extra level of quality control that can't be matched by large chains that frankly don't have a clue about banjos. If you buy a Recording King straight off the net, what are you going to do if there is a high fret, a poorly cut nut or any number of little issues that become big issues, when shipping across the country. Let us get it right for you, the first time! We care about banjo customers and it shows. Thanks,Ross Nickerson

RK R 35 Description and Specs
The Recording King Madison RK-R35 is built around a 3-ply steam bent maple rim, from the exact same construction and materials used in the best-selling RK-R80. It has a maple neck with an adjustable two-way truss rod and a comfortable rosewood fretboard. With a 24-hook brass tension hoop, players can adjust the head tension as precisely as on any world-class banjo. The planetary tuners, geared 5th peg and dual coordinator rods are effective professional components, and add an authentic feel to these impressive banjos.
The Madison RK-R35 has a maple resonator with a hand-rubbed brown matte finish. We build it with a Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring and a Mastertone-style one-piece flange. The Madison peghead and fretboard feature our Seagull inlay, for a banjo that looks as classic as it sounds.
The American threaded nickel-plated hook and nut hardware, as well as the true presto-style tailpiece and armrest are the same as featured on the popular RK-Scout. Like the other Madison banjos, the Madison Deluxe comes standard with an authentic Remo head.
BanjoTeacher.com is an authorized dealer for Recording King Banjos and carry every model of Recording King Banjo and all other Recording King instruments as well.

Incredible service and outstanding product
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulI received my RK-35 a couple days of go (SUVURHQOR), it's absolutely beautiful and sounds great. Ross, thanks for taking this beginners call and helping me decide on what exactly I wanted. To do the couple of upgrades recommended and ship it in the time that you did just screams outstanding service. Commitment to a satisfied customer was so evident in the way that it was carefully packed and shipped. I look forward to learning a new skill on a great instrument with the help of your platinum membership support. If there is any advice that I have to share, particularly for a novice, trust these fine folks to answer your questions and share their wisdom with you - you will be glad you did, I am! Thanks Jim H.
THANK YOU! for your amazing help on my recent banjo purchase
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulHi Ross, I can't say THANK YOU! enough for your amazing help on my recent banjo purchase (Recording King RK-R35-BR). I almost couldn't believe it when you called me back and spent a half hour on the phone with me to get my order right (added pickup, zero glide nut, and Snuffy Smith bridge). Also, I truly appreciate the educational materials you provide. With your help I hope to become a better banjo player. I'm already telling my banjo playing friends about banjoteacher.com. When it comes to banjos, it's hard to walk into a music store and find much of anything in stock, much less anyone who can help with banjo purchases or service. It's so good to know that you are out there and available to help. God bless you! Sincerely, Craig Balden (Palm Harbor, Florida)
I absolutely love it!

My new Recording King R-KR35 banjo was delivered yesterday afternoon. I absolutely love it!
The construction is solid and the color looks great. The sound and tone are incredibly rich compared to my starter banjo

Excellent Banjo. Thank you BanjoTeacher.com
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulThis is my first time to order a banjo from Mr. Nickerson/BanjoTeacher.com. I am very happy with the excellent customer service, as well the professional setup that was done on my banjo. I ordered a Recording King R35, with Zero Nut Glide and Snuffy Smith bridge installed. Perfect setup. Banjo was tuned, all set ready to play. I want to thank Mr. Nickerson and Ed (the luthier) for shipping a top-quality banjo to me. I am very happy with my purchase and I am definitely looking at getting another banjo from this online store. If you are on the market for a banjo, you really need to check out BanjoTeacher.com Thank you again and be safe.
Truly an outstanding banjo
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulReceived my recording King RK 35. Truly an outstanding banjo oh, I love it. Thank you all for the great service and sending it to me quickly. Setup is great wouldn't change a thing. This banjo is probably the closest thing to the old Gibson mastertone that I have seen. Can't wait to Play It Again. Thanks again and I will look forward to doing business with you all in the future.
