Product Description
What better of a way to describe the Pat Cloud Banjola (PC-Banjola) than allow Mr. Cloud to explain it himself… "The Banjola arrived and it is just gorgeous! I love the solid feel and the action is perfect. I just love it. It gets better and better every time I pick it up. It's perfect for me. This Friday is my day off and i am going into Tokyo to try some amps out. My whole life has been in exploration of the "five string system" usually attached to banjo, but now attached to an exciting new instrument which satisfies my need for mellow sustain and jazz chord soloing. This top professional model has many upgrades from our original highly successful Banjola. A wider body, pin style bridge, maple/abalone full body binding, multi layered veneer back of headstock, rising sun inlay, maple heel cap, and a dual stereo out transducer/magnetic pick up. A great stage instrument as the amplified tone is unique and sustaining, and it has a very "fat" tone because of the stereo pick up arrangement.” This top professional banjola has many upgrades from the original highly successful Banjola. A wider body, pin style bridge (instead of floating), maple/abalone full body binding, multi-layered veneer on the back of the headstock, rising sun fingerboard inlay, maple heel cap, and a dual stereo out transducer/magnetic pickup configuration. This is a great stage instrument as the amplified tone is unique and sustaining, and it has a pleasing "fat" tone because of the stereo pick up arrangement. Whether you are new to banjo or looking for a new sound to add to your banjo arsenal, the PC-Banjola may just be the sound you are looking for.

What an enchanting instrument!
By the_global_village_idiot
Will note up front that my review relates to the original Gold Tone banjola and not to the Pat Cloud model, which I have not played yet (but would love to). The Pat Cloud is upgraded with woods and appearance, as well has having onboard pickups. The instrument with which I'm familiar is the most basic model, the original.This said: wow, are these things ever cool! Functionally, they play exactly like a well-made 5-string banjo. They have a very comfortable neck and a fabulous and unique sound --incredibly sensitive and sweet-sounding, perfect for melodic-style picking. That they're also much less loud makes them ideal for late nights or bringing into a house cohabitated with non-banjo lovers, if you take my meaning. It's also a lot lighter than a banjo, meaning that you can travel with one more easily.The only downside to these things is that the body is so light that gravity wants to take over -- you'll find yourself holding the neck up, unless you strap it.Most 'hybrid' instruments combine the worst aspects of two or more different instruments. This is different. It has a unique and wonderful sound all its own. Kudos to Gold Tone for coming up with these things!!!!
