Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s left-handed CC-OTA/L is an A-scale clawhammer banjo package aimed at a first-time player. Its maple neck has a scooped rosewood fretboard, joined by a maple rim, rolled-brass hoop, and Fiberskyn head under a Vintage Brown satin finish. Gold Tone supplies a gig bag, strap, seventh-fret fifth-string spike, and Bob Carlin instructional DVD, and the banjo receives a professional-luthier setup in Florida before it reaches you.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A left-handed novice starting clawhammer with an instrument, gig bag, strap, and lesson DVD.
- Clawhammer practice using an A-scale banjo described as two frets above standard G tuning.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, because the CC-OTA/L is a left-handed model.
