Gold Tone CEB-4 Marcy Marxer Signature Cello Banjo – Vintage Brown with Hard Case

Once a staple in early twentieth century banjo orchestras and clubs, the cello banjo disappeared by 1930. Gold Tone has brought it back, collaborating with string virtuoso Marcy Marxer to develop the CEB-4 cello banjo, offering musicians a unique low-pitched banjo sound for various music genres. Tuned in fifths, the CEB-4 is ideal for both lead and accompaniment playing styles. Its shortened scale length facilitates effortless finger placement, while the high-tension nylon strings deliver a punchy, dynamic tone that is gentle on fingertips. The brass rod tone ring and 14-inch pot project low notes with clarity and strength. Musicians familiar with mandolin, mandola, cello, or viola can quickly adapt to the CEB-4. Available in left-handed models.
