Gold Tone OT-10 Old Time 10-String Open Back Banjo w/ Case

Gold Tone OT-10 Old Time 10-String Open Back Banjo w/ Case

Condition: Mint

This idea was just too cool for Gold Tone not to attempt. When banjo innovator extraordinaire Bela Fleck threw the idea their way and said, "Gold Tone is probably the only banjo company in the world that would ever try something as wild as this", they decided they had to do it. After some serious brainstorming and a few prototypes, the OT-10 was born.

The OT-10 is a 10-string banjo (think 12-string guitar). The strings are arranged in pairs with unisons on the first, second, and fifth string, and octaves on the third and fourth. This banjo is easily played by any five string banjoist as the fingerings are all the same. The tone is loud and penetrating with added sustain caused by the extra string tension. The OT-10 features a tubaphone-style pot assembly with tubaphone-style tone ring and genuine bracket band for a plunky tone. This is not your grandfather's openback banjo so no rules need apply!

There is only light in-store play on this instrument and overall it is in mint condition. Includes hardshell case.
