I installed the banjomate on my Gold Tone CC 100R last week. I like this banjo and think it is particularly good for the price range, as others have noted. While mine had a pretty good sound to begin with, it was a little "tubby" sounding. The Banjomate tone enhancer got rid of 90% of the tubby beginner banjo sound. The tone enhancer added sustain and brightness as well. I experimented with placement of the device, as the directions suggest, but did not find a radical difference in sound. It improved the banjo's sound no matter where I placed it (all placements were relatively close to the neck, though). I would certainly recommend the Tone Enhancer.
