Nice banjo Ruth, I've always wanted something a bit more colourful than the plain Weaver banjos that I have mostly played over the years, except for the odd diversion into a couple of Abbott 'Mirable' models and a few Stewart 'Thoroughbreds'  I always returned to the Weaver banjo as it seemed to be a good all rounder, and usually, they are very loud, which is a thing I like about a banjo.

I also like the quilt, welcome to the site.

Thanks! This is the only banjo I have ever played so I can't compare it to others, but it sure is louder than my acoustic guitars.  One of the nice things about Gold Tone's website is there are sound bites for the instruments.  I had planned on getting a resonator banjo until I listened to the different ones and found I like the sound of the open back ones better.  So I figured I might as well get a pretty one.
