Gold Tone BC-350 Bob Carlin Banjo
The Gold Tone BC-350 Bob Carlin Banjo is a masterfully crafted open-back banjo, designed in collaboration with legendary clawhammer player Bob Carlin. Built in the Gold Tone workshop with meticulous attention to detail, it features a 12" three-ply maple pot, rolled brass tone ring, and a dowel-stick/coordinator rod system that enhances both tone and structural stability. The natural high-gloss finish highlights the rich maple, while nickel-plated hardware adds durability and elegance.
Tonally, the BC-350 delivers warm, resonant sound with clear projection across the range. The scooped ebony fingerboard, combined with the 12" Remo Renaissance head and Trillium bridge, supports clawhammer techniques, producing a balanced and dynamic tone. Planetary tuners and a No Knot tailpiece ensure smooth, precise tuning, while the hot-dog armrest enhances comfort during extended playing sessions.
Ideal for advanced clawhammer players, serious hobbyists, and professional old-time musicians, the BC-350 combines traditional aesthetics with modern playability. Its responsive tone, handcrafted construction, and attention to player-specific details make it a standout instrument for performers seeking authentic vintage sound with contemporary reliability.
