Bought a Duke10 recently that I love the sound of, but the tenor neck is just too big. Had a Little Gem arrive a couple of days ago.
It has what seems to sound like an flat area near the A string. I don't want to pull it apart because I don't know if I'm keeping it, but has anyone played one without the resonator? I don't know if it's just my ears not being used to hearing the sound of the of the instrument with the resonator or just the instrument (probably the former).
Anyway, for those of you who have banjoukes with and without resonators, how much difference do you notice?
I want to love the Little Gem for the lower weight and concert size but...
I wish Duke had made one with concert neck or SOMEONE made one with concert neck that didn't weigh a ton. Yep I did try the firefly in a shop. Very strange buzzing in both that I tried. Like I said, may just be me.
