No2 Better to my ear and preference. Suspect head on 2 slightly looser more going on with it than no1. Both fine Banjo's. Again whats your take on them i know you're gonna love them both.
The 2nd Banjo (1932 TB-1) has a little less volume, and more sustain. It is also easier to play because it has a thinner radiused neck. I gravitate towards it. Even though it doesn't have the power and volume, it makes up for it in sustain and sweetness. I love the appearance of the 1st Banjo (1929 Oriole - gold plated). It has a great crack for bluegrass. But for all styles of music I think at this point I prefer #2.
#1
I like the first banjo
