Agreed Goldtone Cello Banjo is a great instrument! I also like the resophonic body banjos. I nearly bought on instead of the banjola.

If you try the banjola and find it a bit delicate, add much heavier strings. You'll find it holds up to the tension increase very well, and really responds with power to them as well.

And YES; Even though it actually is a banjo, with that small wooden body it really is not one thing or the other ... but that is it's charm! Even though you're tempted to play it just like a banjo - because of the beauty of its sound, you end up modifying your style to make the most of it.
