So I've been dabbling in banjo ukes for a while - I had a Firefly, then a Deering and now a Gold Tone Little Gem.
I like to play 1920s jazz/dixieland/ragtime style and I'm starting to think that I'd like to get the ultimate banjo uke. The one I hang onto and play forever. In part this was driven by trying out some different four-string banjos and actually purchasing a 1920s Bacon and Day Silver Bell plectrum banjo. The Bacon and Day is a serious instrument with a focus and power that leads me to believe I'd like to try out a banjo uke with a tone ring and resonator.
Does anyone have an observations regarding high-end banjo ukes? I'm looking at the Gold Tone Delux, all kinds of 1920s banjo ukes with resonators, and I'm intrigued by the Spanky banjo ukes I've seen.
