General
If you've always dreamed of playing banjo, but have no clue where to start, then Gold Tone offer the complete CC-OT Cripple Creek Banjo Clawhammer pack to point you in the right direction. This great pack includes an open-back banjo, a matching gig bag, strap and a DVD loaded with your first banjo lessons! Get to grips with the hallowed clawhammer-technique and get yourself ready for your first gig!
The CC-OT Cripple Creek Banjo
The maple resonator warms up the tone of this banjo, and since it's open-backed, the sound is projected backwards and lightly dampened by your body as you play, to give it a softened, friendly character with plenty of presence and clarity. The pre-installed and high-quality Remo Fiberskyn banjo-skin adds even more warmth and, while its entirely synthetic, provides all the positive features of animal skin. The neck and resonator have both been coated in a vintage brown satin-gloss for a nicely supple playing feel and a satisfying, old-school look.
A Few Extras
To fully get to grips with banjo playing techniques, a DVD of lessons from Bob Carlin has been included in this pack. One of the most renowned clawhammer-style banjo players of all time, you're getting a master class in your own living room. Once your technique is down, and you're all rehearsed, a banjo bag is included to get your instrument safely to the gig, and so you can stand and perform, a banjo strap has also been included.
