This Carlin model was the first to be issued; it was the result of a meeting between Bob and Gold Tone president Wayne Rogers at the 2004 IBMA Fan Fest. All of the BC-350 features and dimensions are per Mr. Carlin's specifications (arrived at after several trips by Bob to the Gold Tone plant) and include a twelve-inch three-ply maple pot with an innovative dowel-stick/coordinator rod, a rolled brass tone ring, maple neck with scooped ebony fretboard, planetary-gear tuning machines, No Knot tailpiece and "hot-dog" armrest.
New Gold Tone CEB5 5 string Cello Banjo GORGEOUS with Gold Tone Archtop Hardshell Case
The Old Tone OT-800 pays homage to one of the most sought-after banjos of the "classic" period (1890 to 1930) when the Boston School of banjo making was the highest expression of the art.
Based on a custom design by noted luthier Andy Perkins of Andybanjo.com from Faversham, UK, the IT-250F is THE banjo for the Irish tenor banjoist that wants to be heard!
