Featured Banjos
$ 3,899.99
Left-handed Gold Tone Bluegrass Heart Béla Fleck Signature Banjo with no-hole bell bronze tone ring, mahogany neck, radiused ebony fingerboard with Flying Eagle red heart inlays, Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuners with brass buttons, Prucha Presto tailpiece, and Little Mountain armrest. 11.5 lbs. Includes hardshell case, professional setup by our banjo tech Tara, and free shipping.
$ 2,599.99
The discontinued Gold Tone OB-250+ TP pairs a genuine Tony Pass banjo rim — the same rim Geoff Stelling used as standard equipment on every Stelling banjo for roughly the last twenty years of his career — with a JLS #12 bell brass tone ring for a pot assembly of extraordinary depth, sustain, and woody resonance. Gold Tone retired this configuration after Tony Pass passed away in 2016 and the rim supply ended. Banjo Warehouse has the last right-handed unit. When it's gone, it's gone. Professionally set up at the Gold Tone factory in Titusville, Florida before shipping. Includes hard shell case.
$ 474.99
The Gold Tone CC-50 Cripple Creek is a beautifully balanced entry-level open-back banjo built for old-time and folk players who want a lightweight, great-sounding instrument without breaking the bank. With a maple neck and rim, rolled brass tone ring, and a ZeroGlide nut, it plays far above its price point right out of the box. Every CC-50 is professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL before it heads to your door.
$ 3,199.99
The Gold Tone OB-300 is the most visually stunning professional bluegrass banjo at anywhere near its price. Triple-plated gold hardware, modified tree of life abalone and mother of pearl inlay on ebony fingerboard, sand-cast bell bronze tone ring, 3-ply Canadian maple rim, one-piece cast flange, flamed maple resonator with inlaid artwork.

A Family-Run Banjo Shop Since 1980
Banjo Warehouse is run by Geoff Hohwald, who has been playing and selling banjos since 1963. He’s also the author of The Banjo Primer (200,000+ copies sold). Every instrument is set up by our banjo tech Tara, who trained at the Huber Banjo factory. We’re a small team that knows banjos, not a warehouse full of boxes.

“The treasure to the Warehouse is Geoff Hohwald, himself. He knows so much about banjos: how they are made; what makes them sound good; and how to learn to play. His many years of experience translates to an expert willing to help even the beginner master this most unique of instruments.”

“I have purchased two banjos from Geoff — a Greg Rich era RB-3 and a ’65 RB-800. Both are great banjos. I’ve also sold Geoff a Stelling Staghorn. He is great to deal with, very honest. Everything was as expected and as promised. 10 Stars.”
