Not only does this banjo have a great tone and it is also quite loud.
Sound Rating: 10
Banjo was already set up by previous owner. No buzzing at all when played.
Setup Rating: 10
This banjo is beautiful to behold. Looks better then ebay photos as well as Gold Tone's website photos for this particular model.
Appearance Rating: 10
This banjo is well build. I laughed at a previous review that stated that you could pound nails with it. After receiving my own, I would have to agree.
Reliability Rating: 10
Have not dealt with Gold Tone as a company yet. Have looked at their website which provided sound samples and other valuable information of the model that I was interested in.
Customer Service: 10
Have not found a weak part on it.
Components Rating: 10
I would absolutely recommend this banjo. Especially for the price I paid. I believe I came upon a steal of a deal.
What would I do if the banjo was stolen? Pray for the person who took it and then start looking for another one.
This is a great banjo. In my searching for a banjo I did not find a negative review on the OB-250 . Now I know why.
