Independent shopping perspective
The CES5L is a light-gauge, five-string set designed for Gold Tone’s CEB-5 cello banjo. Silver-wrapped nylon gives the set the bright, articulate character described for it, while the nylon component is presented as reducing fingerboard noise and friction. The light construction is intended to make movement across the fingerboard easier, with less resistance during runs, fingerpicking, bends, and vibrato. It is made in the USA and packaged to resist corrosion before use.
