The Nechville is awesome and feels great, but I like the smaller footprint and less bulk of the Dr. The Thinline's design provides the option to be installed on all banjos regardless of bracket spacing, but if you have a Mastertone style banjo, the Dr.Arm is preferred over the additional brackets and somewhat convoluted attachments. All are very good armrest and comfortable, but I prefer the minimalism of the Dr. I also have a Nechville on one of my other banjos, and have tried the Thinline. I prefer it over the original Mastertone style bracket which can rattle at times and is cold nickle. Beautifully crafted and very comfortable. I just received my Banjolit, Dr.Arm Mini armrest, and am very pleased !! It is a simple, elegant design that is easy to install in minutes. Where Purchased: OnLine from Manufacturer Overall Comments

Included in the price is a Superior hard-shell case, which was included with the instrument at the time of its original purchase.Submitted by PKM ( see all reviews from this person) on We consider it to be in excellent condition. This instrument shows almost no signs of playwear and has never required any major repairs. Rather, the magic is in this banjo's sound, as its buttery tone is sure to please even the most discerning clawhammer player. Appointments are modest, with a matte finish on the pot, tortoise shell-colored binding, a mahogany armrest, and a classy rosewood peghead overlay. This banjo is currently strung with nylon strings, but the set-up is great and it could be restrung with standard nickel strings at a moment's notice. A mahogany neck with a large frailing scoop terminates in a maple pot, for the ideal mix of percussive snap as well as mahogany's warmth, making the instrument very well suited to old time music and solo melodic clawhammer playing.

It boasts all of the classic Ome sound, included excellent bass response and a thumping, lively midrange that's sure to delight any clawhammer player who sits down with it. We're lucky to have them right up the road from us, so used ones float into our store every now and then, like this 12' Tupelo from 2017. The Denver Folklore Center was the first store to ever stock Ome banjos, and we still love them to this day.
