Our Timber-Tronic ring is the lightest we build, coming in at about four ounces. This makes it three pounds less than its bronze counterpart. It fits any modern Heli-Mount banjo rim. To see if your Nechville is compatible, look for steel bearings (they might be hidden between your rim and bronze tone ring).
Just like our Hybrid and bronze rings, the Timber-Tronic ring works with our Cyclotronic ball bearing system. Having wood up against the head doesn't change the sound the way you might think. There's a unique timbre in the highs suitable for driving bluegrass or dixieland jazz (and everything in between).
