We sometimes sell the GoldTone Irish tenor. It is a good instrument, but often the neck joint at the pot needs to be re-cut for a better fit. This translates to better sound. If you get one, take it to a good banjo repair shop for evaluation and setup. Beware of internet auctions. Yesterday a customer brought in a fake Gibson mandolin. The label was a Xerox of a real label, but it didn't help the mando sound any good. It was a $50 instrument he paid $1,000(US) for. He's stopping payment on the check.
