The shorter scale, deeper pot, and centered bridge produce a deeper more "plunky" sound speaking very generally. 10 or so years ago Ome got on board with the current trend in the clawhammer world toward banjos with deeper pots and shorter scales that place the bridge more in the center of the head. For many years, Ome's openbacks were standard 26 1/4" scale with pots like that of the Jubilee. The Wizard is a different configueration spec-wise. (He doesn't offer a "woody" model) The Jubilee's sibling with a rolled-brass ring was/is called the Juniper. Bart Reiter's banjos also have standard scale and Vega-ish pot depth.
