The Gold Tone OT-800LN is a serious old-time banjo built around a pre-WWII-style Tubaphone tone ring, an 11-inch maple rim, and a scooped ebony fingerboard — everything a dedicated clawhammer or old-time player needs in one beautifully crafted instrument. Inspired by the golden age of Boston-school banjo making (1890–1930), it delivers the warm, complex overtones that define authentic old-time sound. Every OT-800LN ships with a professional factory setup from Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida and includes a deluxe arched-top hard case.
