Gold Tone - BG-10
Gold Tone BG-10 Banjo - 10 string bluegrass banjo
10 string bluegrass banjo (think 12 string guitar). The strings are arranged in pairs with unison on the first, second, and fifth string and octaves on the third and fourth. Easily played by any five string banjoist. 9th and 10th string feature a tunnel system under the fingerboard and are tuned at the headstock. The tone is loud and penetrating with added sustain. To reduce overtones we have used our extended 3-ply wood rim which eliminates the tone ring and the weight. We have discovered that the 9th and 10th string can be tuned to an interval (e.p. G and D) for a unique sounding drone.

Each banjo is played before it leaves the shop!

Really sorry I look so sleepy and "bored" in this video. I filmed 34 videos one right after another and I must have been losing my mind. I was a little baffled by this cool instrument and wished I had more time with it. I originally nixed this video from using it probably because of my appearance but after revisiting it a few years later for a customer, the tone is pretty awesome so I am releasing it. I hope you like the sound! Find me at Banjoteacher.com 866 322 6567. I answer all the calls and I promise to be more awake to your questions!
