Gold Tone CEB-5 Cello Banjo
The Cello Banjo originated in the late 1880’s and was used as a staple of banjos orchestras during that time period being used mostly to play the cello parts in a “classical” orchestra repertoire. Generally tuned a full octave below a standard banjo, this created the deep tones necessary for full orchestral pieces played by mulitiple banjos. Unfortunately, by about the 1920’s, the banjo craze amongst mainstream America was fading and the Cello Banjo slipped into near extinction. Thankfully, Gold Tone brought back the Cello Banjo and now contemporary players can experience this new and fascinating low banjo voice for use in any kind of music!
This is definitely one of our favorite new items in the shop! Strung with high-tension nylon strings to an octave below standard G Tuning, you are able to achieve a deep and punchy tone while being easy on the fingertips. The brass rod tone ring and 14” pot punch the low notes out strongly and clearly and the depth of tone is incredible. This is a great instrument for any banjo player or enthusiast of unique instruments! Available now at Weed Patch Music Company for $1399.99 with Gold Tone Hardcase included.

Diatonic Harps, or Renaissance Harps, have been popular since around 1800 AD and played a very important role in Gaelic culture, legend, and folklore. Today, the Irish Folk harp remains popular and is an important part of Irish and world culture.

Teton Guitars have been designed by Chesbro Music Company out of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Chesbro Music focuses it’s business on independent music shops like us, and of course we love that it has been run by female CEO’s since 1953!
This company was the main distributor of Ibanez guitars for many years before manufacturing their own line of guitars – the Teton Guitars – in 2011. Teton Guitars are manufactured in China only because they wanted to be able to make a guality, solid-top guitar line at an affordable price. With many guitars under $500, the Teton guitars have the playability, quality, and sound of any guitar over $1000, but at half the price!
