The Music Link has announced two new products that will be of interest to banjo and guitar pickers.

First up is an impact resistant, fiberglass case from Guardian Cases. They are available for both resonator banjo and dreadnaught guitar. The shell is made from 6mm fiberglass with thick interior padding and a velvet lining.

Guardian says that these new cases were thoroughly tested during the prototype stage by professional bluegrass artists, and kept the instruments safe in both air and road travel conditions.

The banjo case sells for $249.99 and the guitar for $229.99.

Recording King also has news. They have introduced an arch top banjo tone ring which is now available on their Professional, Soloist and Deco King models.

The arch top ring was popular before today’s more common flathead tone ring, and is still preferred by players who seek the sharper, crisper tone characteristic of this raised head style of banjo.

Both Recording King and Guardian cases are part of The Music Link family of companies.
