All-wood Rims

Romero Banjos are of only a few builders using a design first conceived by James Ashborn circa 1850. We have modernized some of his ideas to create an "all-wood" rim - an elegant solution for having to drill through the rim to install shoes. These rims are an excellent choice for those looking to focus on the beauty and functionality of the wood.

All-wood rims are available both unscalloped and scallopped

Ebonized Rims

As an additional option, blackened or "ebonized" rims are available as a finishing option on any banjo.
