Vintage Gold Tone IT-250F Irish Tenor Banjo (Brown)

The Irish tenor banjos from Gold Tone have always been a favorite in the Celtic music scene. Based on a custom design that Andy Perkins, the owner of Andy Banjo in Faversham, England, had been building for several years to meet the demand for a more "up-front" banjo than the well-regarded IT250 model, this particular model, the Irish tenor 250 with flange (IT-250F), was recommended by him.

Andy Perkins collaborated in the design of this model, which offers extra punch and volume, allowing it to "cut through" crowded Celtic music sessions. The refined and well-tested Gold Tone 17-fret tenor neck is combined with a hard rock maple 3-ply rim, a sand-cast brass tone ring, a one-piece flange, and a 14-inch traditional resonator, ensuring a high-quality and powerful tone.

The sand-cast brass tone ring, the one-piece flange, and the 14-inch traditional resonator all contribute to the outstanding tone of this instrument. This model is a favorite among Celtic musicians due to its ability to stand out in busy ensemble settings, making it a valuable asset in any performance.

The Gold Tone Irish tenor 250 with flange (IT-250F) is a versatile and reliable instrument that has become a staple in the Celtic music community. Its combination of design features, including the custom-designed elements, and the use of high-quality materials ensures that this banjo delivers a exceptional sound that can captivate audiences and drive the rhythm of Celtic music.
