A classic reproduction of the most famous flathead bluegrass banjo with astonishing tone and playability. They have even added extra features such as an ebony fingerboard, maple neck (instead of softer mahogany), and maple resonator.

The pot construction uses a sand cast brass tone ring fitted properly to a 3 ply Canadian hard rock maple rim with one piece pot metal flange.

The OB has been Gold Tone's flagship banjo for 10 years and is played world wide by many pros (E.P. Bill Keith, Frank Wakefeild) and recording artists. The maple resonator is of two-tone sunburst, a feature usually found on banjos twice the price.

The neck is of slim line design for fast playing and low string action. Their unique straight line tailpieces allows for more downward pressure on the head for the best vibration transmission.

The OB is meticulously set up by Gold Tone's banjo luthiers in their Florida banjo shop. Check features and prices of any competitive banjo and you'll find the Orange Blossom is undoubtly the finest banjo in this price range.
