OB-Bela Gold Tone Béla Fleck “Bluegrass Heart” Signature Banjo with Case

The Gold Tone Béla Fleck “Bluegrass Heart” Signature Banjo with Case is now a reality; the closest thing yet to the feel and the tone of Béla’s favorite pre-war banjo. Every detail of the Bluegrass Heart banjo is a result of personal, hands-on development by Béla, Marc and Wayne. The finest components available are used to optimize the sound and the playing experience. The Prucha Presto tailpiece, Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuning machines (with custom, red-anodized brass buttons for added peghead mass), custom bridge and Little Mountain armrest all do their part to enhance tuning ease and stability, full-bodied tone and playing comfort.
