Rover RB-25 Student 5-String Resonator Banjo

When you’re ready to step up to your intermediate 5-string banjo – we suggest you check out the RB-25 by Rover. This is a high quality instrument with a professionally styled resonator – more volume and carrying power to match your developing banjo skills. The neck is fast and accurately fretted – it plays just like our most expensive banjos – but the price of the RB-25 makes it affordable for any serious student. The geared 5th peg and brightly nickel-plated metal hardware are just a few of the many points of excellence that make the RB-25 by Rover a world-beating value!

If you’re new to banjos, and are trying to decide between the RB-20 & RB-25 open-back banjos (RB-20)  have no back plate, giving them a softer, warmer sound that’s great for old-time, folk, and clawhammer styles. Resonator banjos (RB-25) add a back that reflects sound forward, making them louder and brighter—ideal for bluegrass and playing in bands.
