The Old Tone 800 Long Neck

(0T-800LN) is the ultimate longneck banjo. This tubaphone style longneck is tuned 1 1/2 steps lower for the best singing keys. A great folk style banjo, it closely resembles Mr. Seegers famous plunky tone, a sound desired by songsters. The engraved inlay is set off by the ebony fingerboard and the pot includes a bracket band for a loud sustaining tone.

The Gold Tone 0T-800 incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11” maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased sustain. The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities. Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard with frailing scoop, a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, a Fairbanks-style headstock, 11” Renaissance banjo head, and a No Knot tailpiece.

Great banjo, great service

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

My first banjo was a goldtone and it has served me well. However many of the musicians who led me to play the instrument played in lower tunings. Figures such as pete seeger and john hartford. I was lured to a long neck as it would very much accommodate my low voice. Though i could tune down and use heavier strings there is much that is more pronounced on the long neck. From more sustain to more richness. The first gold tone I had was great and I can say this one is wonderful. It was shipped in due time and set up nicely. The tone and build of the banjo are great. Seeger style playing on the banjo sounds wonderful. Its versatility can not be understated. For those looking for a long neck banjo then this option is very much one worth looking at.

It was a pleasure dealing with you

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

Ross, I received the GoldTone OT-800 Long Neck a few days ago. It's terrific and exactly what I wanted. The tone is absolutely perfect, as is the action. I used to own a Vega long-neck Seeger model that was stolen decades ago, and always wanted to replace it. I didn't want to spend the 3-$4000 that they now cost at Deering and other sites that sell old Vega models. This Gold Tone is a top of the line instrument that has the old time sound and a rich, robust sound that can't be beat. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a folk or old time banjo and doesn't want a flimsy instrument. It was a pleasure dealing with you. And those trailing finger picks you sell are also phenomenal. They're better than anything else I've come across.

It is exactly what I was hoping for

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

The OT-800 Long Neck arrived yesterday -- everything else had arrived a few days before. It is exactly what I was hoping for -- wonderful instrument. Thank you for recommending it. Also (as you would already guess) the BanjoTeacher.com leather strap you sent is very good -- very well made, solid, fits like a harness (a good thing) and holds the instrument perfectly. Again -- many thanks. Wonderful instrument, arrived on time, in one piece, ready to play, and with a beautiful sound. I am passing the CC-100+ to my son, who is a better musician than I am. I expect him to pick it up quickly and to be back to you for another upgrade in another six months or so.
