It was just over a month ago that we announced the addition of a Dusty Strings lever harp to our collection of instruments...
Today our long-awaited Gold Tone IT-250 Irish tenor banjo arrived. The Irish tenor has 4 strings (instead of 5 as seen on the standard bluegrass banjo), tuned GDAE like a fiddle or mandolin, but an octave lower. It has a longer neck than the mandolin and violin, but not quite as long as the bouzouki or octave mandolin. Like all banjos, it has a drum for the body.
Our banjo has lovely mother-of-pearl inlays in a cloud design.
Be sure to check out the video of Max playing The Swallowtail Reel (which he's just learning!) on the banjo, right out of the box... mandolin skills transfer well!
