This instrument is actually badged for Goldtone (or at least the basic Model is) and also for Ozark (which was chesaper at the time I bought mine)

I also have a hand built "Banjola" from the 60's which is somewhat larger (the Goldone/ozark's are very shallow) and projects a lot better. A great instrument to play and come across as a more refined brother of the banjo, with a touch of dulcimer - an instrument in its own right.

In the UK Andy Perkins sells the Ozark version.

Anyone at Fylde FF - I will most likely have mine along with me - so contact me if you want to have a look - TIGB - Back to Roots
