Banjola: Gold Tone woodbody banjo

A coupling of mandola and banjo, the Gold Tone Banjola is a mellow-sounding, wooden body 5-string banjo that works nicely for many types of music. Light weight and easy to finger, the Gold Tone Banjola has a comfortable curly maple neck, bound rosewood fretboard, and curly maple mandola body. The Banjola comes with a passive bridge-mounted pickup. The Gold Tone Banjola is much quieter than a regular banjo, which it makes an ideal practice instrument for those times when you don't want to blast out the neighborhood. Its light weight makes the Gold Tone Banjola an ideal travel banjo.
