Folks-
I started futzing with a nylon fretless banjo today, and really liked it and now looking forward to buy one... but I'm trying to decide on what features I want on it.. I specifically would like to know how the tone ring impacts the sound from a nylon-strung banjo. Is it the same way as a steel-string banjo? Will a white-lightening or tubaphone tone-ring basically just make it louder? Or would it make a dramatic change? There are not a lot of nylon-string banjo's around where I live, so I can't go and play a bunch of different ones.. (The fretless Ohm one I played was wonderful, but I have no others to compare it with.)
