Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built as an accessible four-string tenor banjo, the AC-4 combines a composite rim with a slim neck and Zero Glide nut. Its openback design and snappy voice keep the instrument focused on the essentials, while the under-four-pound weight makes it easy to take along. Gold Tone supplies a gig bag, completes a professional setup in its Florida shop, and backs the banjo with a transferable three-year warranty.
