Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone's CEB-4 is a four-string cello banjo tuned CGDA in fifths, developed with Marcy Marxer. It brings a low banjo voice to lead and accompaniment work, using high-tension nylon strings, a rolled brass tone ring, and a 14-inch pot to give low notes strong, clear presence. The shortened 24-inch scale is intended to make fingering easier, and the nylon strings are designed to be easier on the fingertips. It arrives in Vintage Brown with a hard case.
Strong match
Who this is for
