This banjo has earned a nickname here around the store. We call it B.O.B.-short for “Big Ole Banjo!”
And it has a sound to match! It just comes alive with wonderful bass tones that fill the entire room. It’s very comfortable and easy to play, and brings out the creativity in you no matter what style you choose to play.
It has a fourteen-inch pot (the largest banjo pot in production today by any maker) with a custom Remo Renaissance head and custom-designed high-tension wound nylon strings on a custom bridge pushes out gut-rumbling lowdown banjo mojo. Tuned a full octave below any of the standard five-string banjo's many tunings, the CEB-5 looks as great as it sounds. The Canadian maple neck is finished in rich sunburst and the tastefully-bound peghead and ebony fretboard as well as the heel cap are fully bound. Play “B.O.B.” in an Old Time ensemble to add a bass feel, play Scruggs-style three-finger rolls for an added dimension to Bluegrass or Newgrass styles or play the CEB-5 clawhammer-style. Includes hard shell case, professional setup, free shipping, and also available as left-handed model upon special request.

Perfect for mento music, much closer to the timbre of the gourd banjo.
I love the sound
Man that song you play at 1:39 is probably one of the most badass songs I’ve heard

Made me tingly inside.

The Body is larger to help the lower pitches resonate better. As a Guitarist the Banjitar will work, but for Mandolin picking I found this guy:goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldtone/instruments/mb-850-plus the Mandolin-Banjo. The Strings on the Cello Banjo (aka Bass-Baritone Banjo) are made out of Nylon wound in Metal, they're under lower tension than Steel Strings so they're easier to press down.
thats a big ass banjer lol :P
We be thinkin' alike, Randy, we be thinkin' alike...!
I want
... the string are nylon or metal please ?
Sounds deeper than a Prust. Have you played both? Do they compare?
They don't compare at all. Very different instruments. One is a tackhead and the other is a cello.
I forgot to ask. What kind/type of strings are used? I've tried claw hammer with my 5 string steel strings and found it was kind difficult to play with the strings closer together. B.O.Bs strings look further apart.
Gold tone sells specially made cello banjo strings. They're nylon. Medium gauge
.028 - .034 - .042 - .048 - .028
They make a light gauge too but I don't know the numbers.
At the base, the neck is about as wide as a classical guitar.
