*Note: The LouZee® tone ring is a special design. It is available only on LouZee banjos. It is not the same as other Hopkins tone rings. It has a very unusual cross section that gives the upper part of the air chamber more of an open space. It is made from an alloy that is very similar to the legendary pre-war tone ring formulas.
