Guys, the Gold Tone Twanger is unreal. I’ve never played a banjo that cost more than $450 but I met @Dragonslayer today (which was super fun, videos coming soon) and tried his Twanger. It was insane. So much louder than my banjo, better tone, and much better playability. There are some melodic things that are typically pretty hard for me but that banjo made it way easier.

I’ve had mine a little over a year now and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve had the pleasure of playing a 20s Gibson, a 90s Gibson, a Huber, and a Stelling and I would definitely rate the Twanger up there with 'um. I’ve had several compliments and the volume is what really blows people away. If anyone here ever has the chance to buy one do you wont regret it.

I was blown away by it. I’ve been really working on melodic and single string stuff and I was able to play that stuff so much more smoothly on that banjo. It really excited me to think where I could probably get if I had a month with a banjo like that.

Think you’re finding out that a great instrument won’t make a poor player play better, but a great instrument will make a good player play better. You are a good player, and I’m not surprised that a great instrument like this responded like it did when you played.

Just imagine how much better the Twanger experience would have been if you’d been using a Blue Chip thumb pick!

Um, ever since i was young i bounce my leg up and down whenever i’m siting, it drove my siblings crazy when the bench or floor would start shaking, especially in church, so they started calling me Shaky. Now it’s always like, hey Shaky can you STOP?? And i’m supposed to hold still. I still normally shake my leg tho :rofl::rofl:
