OK....I'll admit to my banjos!

I have a Gold Tone WL200 (open back) which is good for picked stuff but a little harsh (but bearable) for clawhammer/ frailing which is mostly what I play. So I bought myself a Gold Tone BC350 Signature which is superb, very mellow but still loud enough to need muting when playing without a P.A.

Good build quality and reliability on both.

I also have a an old German open back with a real vellum head which is nice and quiet for late night practicing, a small banjeurine thing and an Ozark Banjola.
