Okay, I find my Pisgah 12-inch Custom Walnut Tubaphone is the easiest of my banjos on which to clawhammer. Great warm walnut tone with excellent playability equals Bliss!
Here's my original 2017 thread highlighting my Pisgah around the time when I received it: Hi Folks, on this thread a while back I solicited information about various brands of 5-string open-back banjos as I was thinking of getting one. After sifting through the suggestions, I settled on commissioning a banjo from Patrick Heavner at Pisgah Banjo Company in Asheville, North Carolina. I received my banjo a couple of weeks ago and love its tone, feel and build quality. I opted for my banjo to be crafted with a 12-inch Walnut rim with a Tubaphone tone ring, a Walnut neck with a Persimmon scooped fingerboard, a HawkTail tailpiece and Traditional Wire Armrest. The company photos show my banjo prior to shipping at which time I requested Patrick add a railroad spike at the 10th fret, so 7th, 9th and 10th frets are spiked. I highly recommend Pisgah Banjos as an easy to deal with, high-quality banjo company with reasonable pricing. Pisgah Banjo Company Current Banjos: Vega No. 2 - Tubaphone OME North Star Walnut - Ring Rickard 12" Maple Ridge - Dobson Pisgah Custom 12" Walnut - Tubaphone Bart Reiter Regent - Whyte Laydie Ozark Custom 12-inch Figured Cherry - Rolled Brass Hoop

Noice. I like walnut a lot. My #1 electric bass is a chambered walnut body, my Nechville is walnut resonator and neck, and one of my Rob Allen fretless basses is 5-piece walnut/ebony neck and walnut top (the other short scale fretless is one-piece walnut neck and walnut top over 1-piece chambered swamp ash body.
All those elements figure into the final tone picture in varying amounts, but for whatever reason I've gravitated towards walnut being involved somehow.

this thread is bad for my budget. Pondering a fretless as I'm used no speed bumps on bass and dobro. Also curious about long neck as I already tune a half step flat, would be cool to have Eb available at the nut.
It's always something...
