The Gold Tone CEB-4 is a piece of banjo history brought back to life. Cello banjos were once a staple of early twentieth century banjo orchestras and clubs, but they had essentially disappeared by 1930. Gold Tone partnered with the legendary Marcy Marxer to revive this fascinating instrument, and the result is something truly special. [...]
The Gold Tone CEB-4/L is the left-handed version of Marcy Marxer's signature cello banjo — a beautifully voiced instrument tuned in fifths (CGDA) that brings the warmth of a forgotten era back to modern players. Its 14-inch rolled brass flat bar tone ring, ebony fingerboard, and high-tension nylon strings deliver punchy, articulate low-register tone that works equally well for lead playing and accompaniment. Comes with a case and professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL.
