Banjo Reviews From Customers
Ross, Six months ago I purchased an Orange Blossom 250 banjo from you. I am extremely happy with this purchase and will recommend your site to my friends for years to come. Your recommendation for this banjo was perfect and I can not emphasize how happy I am with the banjo and the included instructional DVD's. Thank you for making my passion more enjoyable. Very Respectfully, David

Banjitar DeluxeThe GT-750 was designed for optimal volume and tone. A unique bell brass ring with a special lip was esigned and chosen for its best sound. This provides more acoustic volume and excellent sustain for a six string banjo
Banjitar GT-500Excellent acoustic volume and good sustain. This model is exactly like the GT-750 except uses a steel tone ring (instead of brass) and a plain maple resonator (instead of curl)
BT-2000 Lightweight ModelAcoustically the best sounding 6 string banjo. The 12” body accentuates the bass frequencies which are normally weak on any 6 string banjo. The rim provides maximum sound chamber reverberation. This vintage design and slim neck make the BT-2000 a great alternative instrument for acoustic jams.
