Celtic Instruments
Celtic-style mandolins, octave mandolins (citterns), Irish bouzoukis, tenor banjos, etc.
Our value in this area is over a century of collective experience in playing and recording traditional and "pluged-in" Celtic music: Irish, Scottish and Ulster-style. For instance, we know the difference between a tenor banjo and an Irish tenor banjo, which are as different as an orchestra viola and a baritone fiddle.
Cello Banjos: Low and Loud--What More Could You Want?
The 4 string cello banjo, originally used in banjo orchestras of the early 20th Century, has been redefined in this decade by the playing style of Marcy Marxer and others. The revived cello banjo was pretty much invented by Gold Tone. Tuned in 5ths (like a mandolin, fiddle, cello, etc.) it allows accompaniment and lead arrangements for not only old time but most all genres of music. It is being used especially in Irish music.
Oh, by the way, these instruments are LOUD!

Flat-Top Flatiron-Style Mandolin by Don Rickert Design The Rickert Flat-Top Mandolin has a mellow, yet still loud and powerful sound sought by Celtic (both Irish and Scottish) players, as well as many Old-Time mandolin players. This is a MUCH more historically-correct instrument for Old-Time music than either an F or an A type mandolin.
This sweet mandolin is our take on the now-defunct, and increasingly collectible, “Flatiron” Mandolin, which has a long and interesting story, as an independent company, as a division of Gibson, and later as a division of Weber Mandolins. Ours has a rosewood fingerboard, mahogany neck, as well as mahogany sides and back. It has a spruce top.

Tenor Banjo (Deluxe Irish Style No Resonator) 3 A proper open-back, short neck Irish Tenor Banjo by Gold Tone, incorporating the heavy-gauge strings necessary for the correct G D A E tuning.
Excellent tone and volume is a result of a quality White Ladye tone ring, thin maple rim, maple neck and quality components. MOP headstock inlay, hearts and flower position markers, two way adjustable truss rod, and chrome plated hardware are standard equipment. A resonator is an option, but we consider this instrument just fine without it. The lack of a resonator makes for a more traditional sound.

Tenor Banjo (Deluxe Irish Style with Resonator) 2 This is a new model of true Irish Tenor Banjo from Gold Tone that has bit more punch and volume, largely due to its resonator, than Gold Tone's top-of-the-line open-back Irish Tenor Banjo. This loud and powerful instrument has the proper short scale (19 3/4”), a 3 ply maple rim and cast brass tone ring, one piece flange and 14” resonator. Noted Irish Tenor Banjo players (as in from Ireland) helped in the design of this instrument, which was originally built as a custom instrument for a particular player.

Tenor Banjo (True Irish Style with Resonator by Gold Tone) I love this instrument. It is a true Irish tenor banjo with a maple resonator. See the article on the Adventurous Muse blog, The Difference between Tenor Banjos and Irish Tenor Banjos for VERY important information about the differences between tenor banjos and Irish tenor banjos. It is made by Gold Tone (model CC-IT), partially in Korea, hence the price, and completed in the U.S. It is very nicely set up by the Gold Tone in the U.S..
