Great sounding beginner banjo
tugboatcaptain 12.07.2024
The composite looks good, the wood too. It sounds great.
I got this banjo in the key of A because I like to play 2 finger thumb lead/old time/fiddle tunes and they're often in A or D and I can downtune to the "regular" key of G without problem.

Things to keep in mind: one, if you want an arm rest, there's only one that fits (I asked Gold Tone myself), the Little Mountain Armrest (which is nowhere to be found). The Gold Tone one that says "fits all" does not!
Two, banjo's are loud. Stuff something behind the head. Easier and cheaper than ordering a mute (I did not like how the Iucci mute makes the banjo sound like a guitar, it's like all the overtones are gone).

Just right for me.
Roy U3A 07.05.2025
I always found my previous banjo quite a reach, mainly playing guitars and mandolins. This one is so comfortable. My old was not an open back and was therefore loud, too loud for my voice in an acoustic situation. I like the resin tone ring, and the neck devoid of frets where it joins the body for frailing style playing. I also prefer the style of machine heads to the planetary ones. For me for folk sessions it's ideal in sound and size.

Perfekt für Clawhammer-Anfänger
sumwerk 30.04.2026
Ich war auf der Suche nach einem leistbaren Clawhammer-Einsteiger-Instrument von einem renommierten Banjo-Hersteller und nahm deshalb auch die ursprüngliche Lieferzeit von 12 Wochen in kauf.
Die Verarbeitung und der Klang waren ab Werk hervorragend (Designed in USA, Made in China).
Die Sattelbreite von 36,5 mm und der kürzere Hals waren bewusste Auswahlkriterien.
Obwohl das Instrument für die Stimmung A-E-A-C#-E ausgelegt ist, funktioniert es auch bestens im offenen G Tuning.
Es ist keine Armauflage inkludiert, was mich bei diesem Instrument aber nicht stört.
Das große schwarze 31'' Rim, das schwarze Griffbrett und das durchscheinende Fell ohne Aufdrucke sind ästhetisch eine besonders gelungene Kombination.
Ich bin zu 100% zufrieden.
