Recording King RK 30 - RK R30 - Pro Bluegrass Banjo with Flathead Tone Ring
The RK R30 - Recording King Bluegrass Banjo - The Bluegrass Machine
This Model was discontinued by the manufacturer in 2017 and is no longer available.
The upgraded Recording King RK R35 replaced it. The Recording King RK 35 is the banjo that really forced the RK 30 out of production. The Rk-35 has a one piece flange and the Rk-30 was the less desirable tube and blate two piece flange like 1920's Gibson Banjos.

RK 30 Company Description
Recording King is proud to introduce the all-new RK-R30-BGM tube-and-plate flathead banjo. The RK-R30 pairs the industry-favorite Recording King 20-hole flathead tone ring with the sound and ease of a 2 piece flange. Our RK tone ring delivers authentic banjo sound, while the tube-and-plate flange helps to create a more complex sound than the familiar one-piece version. The RK-R30 features our new diamond and square mother-of-pearl inlay pattern, Recording King hexagonal flange, maple neck and resonator, rosewood fretboard and presto tailpiece. Built using a combination of RK's traditional metal parts, this banjo is one of our most tonally complex banjos yet; it also allows for easy conversion to open-back.
