I play two banjos on a regular basis, a Flesher banjo with a 12" pot and a Chuck Lee Chalk Mountain Model with an 11" pot. Both have ebony tone rings. To my ear, among the most popular OT major key tunings the Flesher seems to sound sweetest in A tuning, whereas the Lee seems to sound it's very best in G tuning. Have others noticed that particular banjos seem to have an optimum tuning, or might this be entirely a figment of my imagination?
