Gold Tone BG-150F with Free Beginner Banjo Kit

Newly redesigned The Gold Tone BG 150F is an excellent banjo. It is lightweight, easy to play and has a wood back resonator for bluegrass.

UPGRADED BG-150F NOW AVAILABLE AT BANJOTEACHER.COM

The Gold Tone BG-150-F is a full size, bluegrass banjo and includes features typical of our pro model but is lighter in weight and easier to play and carry.

As of October 2021, the BG-150F received more improved modifications including lowering the flange so a normal banjo strap or cradle strap fits between the brackets which is unlike any other banjo in this price range. Gold Tone also shortened the height of the rim to be more consistent with professional banjos, slimmed down the neck and heel giving it a pro banjo feel but weighing about 5 LBS less. These new improvements make the BG-150F not only an affordable banjo to learn but also an excellent lighter weight alternative to the heavier flathead tone ring bluegrass banjos.

I spoke to Wayne Rogers the owner of Gold Tone today about the new modifications. He explained how great the new feel was and that he had been playing it for 20 minutes and couldn't get over how great it sounded. 

In the 1930's Gibson banjos had the RB250 which had the flat head tone ring and cost more, that design is the same design and specs of the Gold Tone OB-3

They also had the RB-100 which had the brass hoop ring like the BG-150F. The Vintage 1930's 100 series Gibson's are in high demand now because of their great tone without the heavy weight of the 5 LB flat head tone rings.

So the concept is the same now as it was in the 1930's. With the BG-150F you save money, still get great tone and the weight is lighter.

.....I found Ross's website and gave him a call to discuss my dream. Ross was so kind to learn what I wanted to do and helped me decide on the GoldTone BG150F. I immediately reviewed the information and took my first lesson with Ross on his video included with the banjo.After an hour of fun, I can't wait till my first bluegrass song I will play! Thanks Ross! I feel like I have made a new friend.

It is an excellent instrument for players looking for a lighter weight bluegrass banjo. This instrument is the next step above our CC models and uses a one piece flat flange and has a full size 14 inch resonator.

Thanks for your help with this purchase, also your teaching skills!
Hi Mr Nickerson, Just wanted you to know that banjo arrived last week safely, just tuned it and it was ready to play. It feels very solid and well put-together, sounds really nice to me, and of course it’s beautiful! I’m also finding your beginner book very helpful--I’m working through the exercises-- the audio examples are clear, also your really useful spoken comments. I can tell that progress is slow, but it’s still progress and there’s a feeling of accomplishment every day. Thanks for your help with this purchase, also your teaching skills! Regards, Geoffrey

I was very impressed with your 'service after the sale', which
I did a fair amount of research before I decided to buy the Gold Tone BG-150F from you.  I had narrowed my choices down to the BG-150 and the Morgan Monroe Cascade, both were within my price range, but when I heard you playing the Gold Tone in the demo video on your site, I was sold on the tone right away. I was also very impressed with your 'service after the sale', which to me, is very important. (I'm going to need all the help I can get!) Anyhow, thanks for the response, and I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time at your site over the next year or so.

I couldn't be happier with the BG150.
Hi Ross, A couple of month’s back I purchased a Gold Tone BG150-F from you, and today just ordered the Banjo Encyclopedia as well. I just wanted to let you know that the learning process has been going great! I'm just finishing up with the "Fundamentals" book and figured it was time to step up to the next level. I couldn't be happier with the BG150. The tone and quality of the instrument are perfect for my needs, and I've never had more fun learning an instrument in my life. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? Your instruction books and videos help make the learning experience smooth and satisfying. Thanks for everything. See you around the WEB.
