...onto a rim that was built for a tone hoop? I have a Gold Tone CC-100 with a rolled brass hoop, and I'm playing with the idea of putting a ring, like a Whyte Laydie or Tubaphone. The rim must be lathed, right? Can the existing rim be lathed to accomodate a ring? Are there modifications where the neck meets the rim? If so, who does that sort of thing, banjo builders or just regular luthiers? Any idea how much it should cost?
