D Sue Aug 19, 2022 5 (5/5) | Great Banjo! I am so happy with my new Gold Tone CC100R banjo! Thanks Ross for steering me toward this beginner banjo package! The sound is amazing and I love that Ross plays a sample video so we can hear the tone, that is what really sold me on this model. The features on this banjo are top notch… planetary tuners and zero-glide nut come installed now in addition to the fantastic quality Gold Tone is known for. This banjo feels so substantial and I am already addicted to playing it! Ross’s DVD and beginning book are easy to follow and he explains every step so well that even a 60 year old beginner like me feels like I can do this! The free online lessons are a great resource that I plan to use too. I just ordered a metronome to help keep my timing on track and appreciate that he tests things out before recommending them. The case it comes with is nicely padded and Ross includes everything you need to get started. This package is the best value around and I highly recommend this banjo and Banjoteacher.com for any newbies like me! |

B Tim Jul 28, 2020 5 (5/5) | “Beginner Banjo” My CC 100R "Beginner" Banjo arrived in perfect condition. To say I'm thrilled with it would be putting it mildly! This little gem is awesome. For a starter banjo, I'm impressed. It is a beautiful instrument, the sound is awesome, and it just feels sturdy. The assembly and finish were perfect. Took about 20 seconds to check the tuning and was starting my first thumb roll. Like other reviews state, Ross took plenty of time to guide me in the right direction as to which banjo to get, as well as what instructional material to start with. He never acted like he's in a hurry to just sell you something. He actually talked me out of getting a more expensive one to start with, assuring me I would be pleased with the Gold Tone CC 100 R. He was spot one with the choice. Kathy is on top of her game as well, getting other products shipped quickly and packaged to avoid damage. I'll be another long term customer! |

Wayne Peters Aug 17, 2015 5 (5/5) | Goldtone CC100R Beginner Banjo Customer from South Carolina I received my new CC100R a week ago and could not be happier with this banjo. The workmanship is flawless and the sound is exactly what I was looking for. I am playing it with the resonator off but tried it first with it on. The two configurations sound like different banjos and I feel like I got two for the price of one! I have received the banjo and I am very pleased with it I want to thank you for the fair pricing and fast shipping. |

Peter Beck, Publications Coordinator, The John Marshall Law Scho Aug 17, 2015 5 (5/5) | I love it. Hello Ross, ……The banjo arrived safe and sound (and *almost* perfectly in tune) and I love it. And it got here well in time for the performance I had scheduled, for which I’m extra-grateful. This new CC 100 sounds tremendous. It sounds like I've always thought a banjo should sound. There's no need to muffle it and it doesn't have that annoying ringing. It plays in tune all the way up and down the neck and is eminently playable— the notes jump right out of it and I can make C7s to my heart’s content. I've tried it in every tuning I know and even a few I don't know, and it doesn't seem to care;it just bucks up and sounds great. |

Cheers, Stuart Rackham Aug 17, 2015 5 (5/5) | Goldtone CC 100R Beginner Banjo customer from New Zealand Hi Ross, The CC 100R banjo arrived this morning in perfect condition. It's a really beautiful instrument and the action and intonation up the neck seems spot on. Thanks again for making the purchase an efficient and pleasant experience. |

n/a Aug 17, 2015 5 (5/5) | You get my highest recommendation I had my first lesson Friday night and my teacher was very impressed with my Cripple Creek banjo and the value pack. He told me I did very well. So more business may come your way. I watched the first couple of lessons from your video Sunday and found them to be first rate. I also started to read your book and it is superior to others I’ve bought. ......You get my highest recommendation and feel free to use me in your endorsements. |
