Notes from Ross Nickerson on the OB 250 models from Goldtone.
Does this look like a banjo that only costs this much? It looks and plays like a $4000 to $5000 dollar banjo. Wayne at Goldtone has really perfected this model without raising the price. I have a demo video of the OB 250 and OB 250 Plus also a close up description on video. My price is very good on this model and it comes with free shipping and hard case, not to mention the free Book/CD/DVD offer and members only site subscription with each Gold tone purchase. Ross N

The OB-250 is made of maple and has been called the "best bluegrass banjo" in it's price range ! A slim neck and excellent setup make the OB-250 a great choice for the serious bluegrass musician. The quality and price makes it a great step up for the intermediate player and for that matter with the price like this its a great banjo to learn on. The new OB-250 has been redesigned and now includes maple binding, GT Master Planetary Tuners, 1st fret inlay, One piece curly maple veneer on the resonator, and a new gorgeous tobacco brown finish.

.......Hi Ross, My son's banjo arrived today after taking less than a week to get to us here in Australia. We were so happy to receive it in such quick time.
I just wanted to say thank you for the great service and replies to all my questions. We will definitely be making future purchases!
Once again, thank you so much for all you have done for us, the customer service has been fantastic.
Hello Ross I received my lefty OB 250 the other day. It looks good and sounds great! I am a happy customer.Thank you
....Hi Ross, Thank you for forwarding banjo. I am now the very proud owner of a Goldtone OB 250,which arrived in New Zealand on 19th March in excellent condition. For many years I have wanted to play the 5 string banjo and now that I am semi retired I look forward having a go. I'm delighted with the learners package.
Hello Ross, I just received the banjo and ten minutes later The banjo encyclopedia. The banjo is perfect and so is the hard case. The instrument just looks great, really much much more than I expected. Great sound too. And now we have to practice. I’m sure I will have lots of fun playing this banjo. Many thanks, Wim. By the way, there is even a spike at the 8th fret.
Ross, This is Adrian Conley in Kentucky. Received my new OB-250 today.
Couldn't be happier. It's beautiful and sounds unreal. Thanks so much again for all the help.
The Banjo Cruise Workshop is held in a large private conference room that is essentially sound proof and separate from all other passengers. The workshop takes place during the days we are at sea so you can visit all ports and still have plenty of time for fun with your spouse, family or friends while on the cruise. The class sizes are small ensuring that each student receives the assistance and encouragement they need.
