Arthur Hatfield, also known as a bluegrass banjo player, currently announces 7 models, but none of them has made a wonderful banjo with selected wood and quality metal parts.
This instrument is very precious banjo which the Hatfield produced before launching its own company as a banjo maker. This is a 5-string neck which was born from the willingness of creation of the person himself kneaded in the rim made by Ode (Ode) was converted.
It is a neck with good quality walnut, and thin maple material is added in the middle.
Ode and small inlays are applied to the peghead with white butterflies, and the peg has a glover 102.
The earliest Aude's "Model 42 Grade 2" is used for the aluminum rim.
This is not an inexpensive rim that is simple making, but Audo owned by himself, with a blassoon ring wearing it.
The Resonator part is a solid aluminum article, and the lower part tells us that it is a luxury item made by Audition at the time that wood was used.
Slight rust on the metal part and dents on the back of the neck can be seen, but let's say it is a very precious banjo to know the history of Hatfield Banjo.
