The Dannick Tone Ring is plated using the same process used in the Prewar era. The original Prewar process did not use added chemicals commonly used in today's nickel plating process.
The Dannick Tone Ring is not mass produced and is available via limited quantities. Reserve your Dannick today and make your Prewar Conversion sound like it should. Or, put one in a new banjo and hear what a new banjo sounded like back then.

THE DANNICK 20 HOLE FLATHEAD TONE RING
The Dannick Tone Ring is today's answer to the Modern Day Prewar Style Tone Ring of the 1930's, built using 21st century advanced technology. This metallurgical clone of an original Prewar Banjo Tone Ring was developed by matching, then combining, the exact metal formula and grain structure. These breakthrough processes produced a tone ring that sounds exactly like a banjo tone ring sounded in the 1930's.

THE DANNICK ARCHTOP TONE RING
The Dannick Archtop tone ring is the exact same metallurgical ring as the Dannick 20 Hole Flathead. The cut of the Dannick Archtop is from a 1928 Style 3 No-Hole ring. This ring has been tested by replacing the original PW Tone Ring with a Dannick. Results: No change is sound. The Dannick AT is a true replacement for an original AT No-Hole ring. The Dannick No-Hole AT ring is available on all new Kel Kroydon banjos.

THE DANNICK NO HOLE FLATHEAD TONE RING
"The Private Stock"
As a Banjo player myself, I always wondered how the prewar banjo got that sound. I could never figure out why or how, 'til now.
This is no hype -- it's fact. If you want to hear it, call or write Charlie Cushman. It's as simple as that. Make an appointment to go see the banjo and hear it, or talk to Charlie over the phone. You won't be disappointed, maybe just amazed.
The Dannick No Hole Tone rings will be installed by a Certified AMB Co installer only.
