About this Banjo

  • Mahogany Resonator & Neck

  • 26-1/4” Scale Length

  • 20 Hole Bell Brass Tone Ring

  • American Threaded Hook & Nuts

  • Gloss Finish

The Recording King Madison RK-R36 is for every banjo player looking for a high-quality, great-sounding instrument that won’t break the bank. The RK-R36 is built with a Mastertone-style bell brass cast tone ring and one-piece flange just like our best-selling RK-R35, but with a select mahogany resonator and neck.

The 24-hook brass tension hoop allows the head to be adjusted to the perfect tension, and the nickel-plated hardware matches vintage Mastertone-style specs at a fraction of the price.

For touring, studio or jam sessions, the RK-R36 Madison is a rugged high-performance instrument with all the essentials: 3-ply maple rim, bell brass tone ring, one-piece flange and 24-hook brass tension hoop.

  1. Barry Waldrep –

    The R-36 is mahogany with a gloss finish and like the R-35 a very affordable instrument with good sound.

  2. reeselibra –

    I’ve bought a bunch of guitars, bass guitars, and banjos over the years online and through the mail, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. I bought a RK-36 banjo from banjo.com and it was at my door in just a few days. In tune and with a beautiful setup. I don’t normally leave reviews, but I could not be happier with their service and wanted to let you know that you came to the right place to buy a banjo today.
