Just got my Gold Tone - love it!

Chords definately don't sound as good - but lead sounds awesome! Licks are pouring out of me that I've never played on my Boston :)

But now I have tons of questions - is the cello banjo bridge any different than a standard bridge? What do you tune the head to? Oh who cares I'm just going to keep playing it.

Any owner/players please correct me if necessary, but I'm thinking that if I had one (maybe I should say when I get one), I would probably approach it much more like I would finger-style or even classical guitar technique (only with a high drone) rather than a banjo. I don't play a lot of chords on banjo anyway, so chords not sounding as good wouldn't be much of a problem for me.

Anyway, a hearty congratulations on your new musical discovery, and treat us with a sound file when you get the urge!

Yep, finger style sounds great - those flamenco guitar lessons are paying off now.
