MB-850+ Banjo Mandolin Vintage Brown

Gold Tone

collapse expand iconDescription

Compared to a normal mandolin, the MB-850+ mando banjo is louder and has the quick response typical of a banjo body. It features an 11” body compared to Gold Tone's original 8”. This dramatically improves volume and bass response. The brass tone ring projects loud volume and Gold Tone's setup compares to that of professional mandolins.

    I have a Gold Tone Irish Tenor Banjo IT 250 F , 17 frets, in a mint condition which I'd like to trade with a Gold Tone banjolin. Is it feasible?
