STANDARD JAZZ

      The OME Standard Jazz is our most popular Jazz tonal system. It has exceptional volume, resonance, and response, and offers optimum balance between treble and bass, sustain and decay.
      These banjos feature our 9/16" curly maple rim, 24 individual rim brackets, the OME 11" Silverspun brass and steel tone ring, and our Standard style 1-5/8" deep resonator with two-piece brass f-hole flange.

CLASSIC JAZZ
      OME Classic Jazz banjos produce a clear, bright tone with more emphasis on the treble notes. They have a strong carrying power and easily cut through other instruments in a jazz band. The OME 11" Silverspun tone ring, 24 individual rim brackets, 9/16" curly maple rim, and our bell-shaped spun-brass resonator flange are standard on this style.
Gold Monarch Classic Jazz
MEGAVOX JAZZ
      The OME Megavox Jazz banjos offers a deep, warm, and resonant tone. The treble is well balanced, the bass is rich and full with powerful volume and response throughout the entire playing range. These instruments feature the OME 11" Silverspun tone ring, 24 individual rim brackets, 9/16" curly maple rim, and our 2-7/8" deep-wall resonator with top-mounted flange.
