Ross' service is terrific. He answered all of my questions promptly and clearly. Once I placed my order (Gold Tone OB 250) everything arrived as promised. It included customizations (rail road spikes and zero glide nut).
In addition, I ordered a couple of additional items (a wooden arm wrest and a custom leather strap). Both are perfect. With the order, he throws in a handful of banjo DVDs. I can't wait to try them.
Great price and service. I would absolutely recommend banjoteacher.com for future purchases.

Surprisingly bright sound. Not tinny or cheap considering the cost and materials. Does it match my expensive instrument? Of course not, but that misses the point of this instrument. This is the kind of instrument that puts a smile on your face when you grab it to play outside.

For the cost, it can't be beat. I purchased it for times when I didn't want my main banjo to get smoky or dirty. I find that quite often I pull this instrument out also simply because it is lightweight and a pleasure to play. Two weeks after I purchased mine I purchased one for a friend. Well worth the $.
