I've been playing banjo a little while now, but banjo construction and design eludes me. I've noticed that there are banjos with removable resonators, but they are not very popular especially with the higher end models. I'm noticing this while looking at tenor banjos, but it applies to all banjos.
there must be some benefit to the typical flange. What's the difference between a banjo with a removable resonator and one with a flange? Of course the ones with the flange are removable too, but it doesn't seem to be as good a solution for someone who wants one banjo that they can play old time open back and bluegrass resonator on for instance.
