One of the great things about Cello Banjos is that they can go so many places, musically, without their sound being overly identified with a particular genre of music. Between the 4 and 5-string models, you can cover a lot of ground, culturally, such as old-timey American tunes, blues, jazz and classical music, to many styles of music from around the world.
I wasn't surprised when Béla Fleck began using a Gold Tone Cello Banjo for his collaboration with African musicians on "The African Project."
Other banjoists who are making good use of the the CEB-5 include Tony Trischka, Cathy Moore and Mike Iverson. Cathy and Mike got their Cello Banjos through BanjoCrazy.com. Check out the other Cello Banjo videos on YouTube by these and other fine players.
