Retrofits Custom cut rims or rings Return to Services

Fret work from Huber BanjosSince we cut rims and rings in our shop, we have the facilities to cut a Huber tone ring to fit most any rim, or cut an existing rim to fit one of our rings. This includes archtop-to-flathead conversion rings, custom-fitted to your archtop rim.

If you are looking to install a Huber ring in your modern banjo, you can get the optimum value from the experience if you ship your rim to us to have a ring custom cut and fitted. Even some factory-built banjos will have minor deviations from spec in their parts, but if you send a rim to Huber, we can guarantee a perfectly fitted ring.

An archtop conversion ring is the ideal solution when you have an older banjo with an archtop ring but you want a flathead profile. Our conversion ring will be custom cut to fit your rim, with no modification to the rim itself. This both allows you to return the banjo to its original condition should you wish to do so, and preserves the value of the original rim.
