It's official: Wayne and Robyn Rogers today signed the papers that make the Ome Banjo Company a division of the Gold Tone Music Group. Onward!

This is nice to hear that such an iconic company will continue in some form or other.
I am hoping they come out quickly with their version of the Tupelo, a Wonderful open back with simple fittings and no tone ring other than the pot itself. To my ear , this was a remarkable sounding instrument and I really wish to have one.

I played an Ome Ikon at the Gold Tone stand at IBMA, it is an exceptional banjo. They said they expect to get them produced I think by spring 2025 but it might have been 2024...the latter seems ambitious so perhaps 2025.

I ordered an Ikon a couple years ago and received it right when news broke of the company selling...I was so sad that I asked Chuck to build me one more. A top-tension Southern Cross (started, and completed by Chuck's crew in Boulder) was shipped out to me yesterday! According to Chuck, they're finishing up one or two more. Sorry, @21zna9 , but I don't think either of us can prove we got "the last" Ome.
