This 2016 Huber VRB-3 Truetone represents the work of Steve Huber, whose banjos have become a respected fixture in contemporary bluegrass. Built with an eye toward the sound and response of pre-war instruments, the VRB-3 combines traditional aesthetics with decades of research into tone rings, rim construction, and setup. The Natural finish highlights the wood grain while allowing the instrument's craftsmanship to speak for itself.
By the time this banjo was built, Huber had established himself as one of the most influential names in modern banjo making, with instruments found in the hands of musicians across the bluegrass world. The Truetone designation reflects the company's ongoing pursuit of the tonal qualities that made vintage banjos from the 1930s so revered. From its clean styling to its carefully executed construction, this VRB-3 offers a compelling blend of old and new. Ten years on, it remains an excellent example of a modern American banjo built with a deep appreciation for the instrument's history.
Includes Hoffee hard shell case.
