    The flathead obviously sounds better However i am an archtop fan and the 50-52 original gibson archtops sound the best. You have to have really good tension on those heads for those to really open up anything less than 91 is too weak.

    I liked the Prucha best closely followed by the TB-11. To me, the Yates sounded sweet but had a little less volume. The Pyramid was loud and crisp but a little bit harsh to me. Of course, everyone's taste in sound quality can be different.

    Hey there my friend! I know this is an old video, but it's the newest one from you that I've seen. I like the Prucha best, and then the Gibson-29, and then the Gibson TB-11. I think my Stelling would sound better than the Yates. You need to show your eyes, so we can make sure it's really you! Good pickin!!

    To me the OME and the Gibson had the medium brightness of tones. The Prucha was a little brighter... Heck,, they all sound great in their own little way.. Great comparison Sam Vallery. Would be interesting to see the price differences between them. Thanks

    @redlinemando6 жыл бұрын

    I think the 29 Gibson has the qualities of both the first two. They are all great sounding banjos, but impossible to say for sure which is best without playing them for yourself. Different hands pull different tone as well as different ears like different tones. Again, all great banjos.
