RK’s Songster shows its roots with time-honored components that give a nod to bluegrass history right down to the original RK hex-stamped flange design. The mahogany resonator and neck combine with the rolled tone ring and classy gloss finish for true banjo tone and vintage bluegrass authenticity players won’t often find at this price.
The Songster resonator banjo is the perfect high-quality entry-level banjo for a beginner, or any player looking to step up. Packed with historic banjo vibe, and built in the same workshops as the RK top-line Madison and Elite banjos, the RK-R20 punches well above its price class in sound and style.
This is a blem model with minor scratching on the back of the resonator and some marks on the hardware. It’s been on display at our shop in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The RKR-20 does not come with a case or gig bag when we receive it from Recording King, but we’ve included a free, brand new Carrion C-2901 hardshell case ($150 value).

ABOUT:
Geoff Hohwald has been playing banjo since the 1960’s. He became active in the thriving bluegrass community in Ohio as a teenager while studying at Ohio State University. He has played professionally as a guitarist and banjo player with several bluegrass bands ever since. Geoff moved to Atlanta after college and co-founded the Watch and Learn publishing company. They now publish a full line of musical instrument instruction books and digital modules. He also owned several music stores in Atlanta from the 1980s through the mid-2000s and is still an active participant in the musical instrument re-sale community in the southeast.
Banjo Warehouse is a family business resulting from 50 years of experience in music and 40 years of experience in musical instrument retail sales and education. Our focus is on the 5-string flathead banjo, but we also occasionally have a good selection of guitars and mandolins (and other folk instruments).
