The golden-voiced offspring of a mandola (the mandolin-family equivalent of the viola) and a five-string banjo, The Gold Tone Banjola+ is another of our banjo variants meant to expand the player’s tonal vocabulary. Light in weight and easy to finger, the Banjola+ is excellent for fills and solos in all kinds of music. The super-comfortable curly maple neck has a bound rosewood fretboard, and the curly maple mandola body is bound to the top and back. It comes with a passive bridge-mounted pickup for easy amplification. The natural-finish solid spruce top picks up the energy from the moveable ebony bridge. It multiplies it into a lovely, expressive sound that will equally enhance ballads and instrumental music. The planetary-gear tuning machines and the mandolin-style tailpiece are chrome-plated, and the nut and bridge saddle are made of genuine bone to give the best tone possible. Available with or without scoop.

ABOUT:
Geoff Hohwald has been playing banjo since the 1960’s. He became active in the thriving bluegrass community in Ohio as a teenager while studying at Ohio State University. He has played professionally as a guitarist and banjo player with several bluegrass bands ever since. Geoff moved to Atlanta after college and co-founded the Watch and Learn publishing company. They now publish a full line of musical instrument instruction books and digital modules. He also owned several music stores in Atlanta from the 1980s through the mid-2000s and is still an active participant in the musical instrument re-sale community in the southeast.
Banjo Warehouse is a family business resulting from 50 years of experience in music and 40 years of experience in musical instrument retail sales and education. Our focus is on the 5-string flathead banjo, but we also occasionally have a good selection of guitars and mandolins (and other folk instruments).

The Fender Leo was made in Japan when the Japanese perhaps made superior banjos to those made in the United States. This Leo was built to Gibson specifications and features a full-size tone ring and a 10-ply shell. It also has pot metal parts and high-quality keys. This particular Fender Leo belonged to an avid collector who had many banjos, so it was rarely played. It includes the original hardshell case.

The Songster resonator banjo is the perfect high-quality entry-level banjo for a beginner, or any player looking to step up.
