Gold Tone Mandobanjo-850 With Heavily-Padded Gig Bag

Compared to a normal mandolin, our mando banjo is louder and has quick response typical of a banjo body.  A brass rod tone ring increases volume and the resonator promotes outward projection. Best of all, compared to its vintage predecessors, it retains proper tuning which has always been a problem with a 10”, 11”, or 12” head. The 8” head may be stretched tighter to avoid the “sinking bridge” problem.
