Gold Tone Clawhammer Banjos
Gold Tone clawhammer banjos are a line of banjos designed for players who prefer the clawhammer or frailing style of playing. These banjos typically have an open-back design, which produces a softer, warmer sound compared to the resonator-style banjos used in bluegrass. Gold Tone offers a variety of clawhammer banjos, from entry-level options to professional-grade instruments, that are known for their high-quality construction, rich tone, and affordability. These banjos often feature a scooped fingerboard, which allows for easier playing in the frailing style. Many musicians appreciate the unique character and versatility of Gold Tone clawhammer banjos, which can be used in a range of musical genres beyond just old-time and folk music.
The Gold Tone CC-50TR is an inexpensive open-back banjo ideal for kids or any picker to travel with.
A complete package designed for the novice clawhammer picker, The Gold Tone CC-OTA has everything you need to start thumping that head. The Remo Fiberskyn head itself is mounted on a sweet banjo with a half-inch-thick maple rim topped with a rolled-brass hoop (very Old Timey).
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.
