Extended family instruments at camp?

I’m curious will there be any of the instruments extended family at camp? Things like the gold tone CEB-5 and ML-1, octave mandolins and mandolas, the small banjos gold tone makes, I know some of these are stocked at the general store, but will any of them be at camp?

I’ll bring my Gold Tone Plucky if anyone wants to play with it.

That’s one I’d love to play with

Wow I just looked that up, I really want one of those now. It’s like a mando sized banjo!


Imagine what would happen if they put a resonator on that…

It’s actually a little smaller than most mandos.

They actually do have a model like that. It’s called Bg-mini it looks really cool

Folks that live nearby may bring some extra instruments for fun. Most of us, though, will be travelling by air, so it’ll make bringing multiple instruments tough. After the camp last March, I have a new found respect for Katy traveling all over the world with her banjo. Just lugging mine through 2 airports was enough to convince me I don’t want to do banjo at camp this time. :laughing:

I get it. I have yet to travel by air with a banjo. I take my mando instead, you know, to keep up callouses and keep fingers limber. This is why I’m driving to camp though.

I could probably be persuaded to carry it for you though… I deal cheap…ish.

@Jake and @AdamAsh is there any chance y’all might bring an Ml-1?
