Gold Tone IT-250 Irish Tenor Banjo

Gold Tone IT-250: Irish Tenor Banjo with Case

The Gold Tone IT-250 is masterfully crafted for musicians who demand authentic Celtic sound and flawless playability. Its 17-fret short-scale neck and all-maple construction reflect Gold Tone’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship, while the Whyte Laydie tone ring enhances clarity and volume. Designed with precision in mind, every detail—from the vintage-style armrest to the cloud inlays—blends heritage aesthetics with modern reliability.

This Irish tenor banjo produces a bright, percussive tone that cuts clearly through fiddles, pipes, and accordions in any traditional ensemble. Its 3-ply maple rim provides exceptional projection and resonance, while the Renaissance head ensures a balanced, responsive attack. Over time, the IT-250 opens up beautifully, rewarding consistent players with increased warmth and tonal depth.

Perfect for Irish traditional musicians, mandolinists transitioning to banjo, or folk players seeking a versatile, gig-ready instrument, the IT-250 offers both beauty and functionality. Its setup, feel, and tone make it a standout choice among tenor banjos in its class.
