On the mandolin side, the range spans from the laminated RM-25 student model up through the solid-wood, hand-carved RM-50 A-model and the RM-75 F-model, which serves as the line's flagship. The banjo range includes the RB-20 open-back, RB-20T tenor, RB-20P plectrum, and RB-25 resonator. The brand is most often recommended as a starter option for players looking for solid-wood construction at lower price points than established American mandolin makers.
