      Gold Tone Banjos, located in Titusville, Florida was founded by Wayne and Robyn Rogers in 1993. Active folk musicians in the 70's and 80's, they opened Strings N' Things Music Center in 1978.  In 1993 Wayne designed the original TB-100 Travel  Banjo and began manufacturing and distributing the "Traveler"  for mail order.  After a wonderful review by Banjo Newsletter, the TB-100 became very much in demand. As the company grew,  new innovations were combined with proven vintage designs. Dealers and customers continued to request quality banjos in a reasonable price range and soon Gold Tone's collection included 5 strings, 6 strings, Banjitars, Mando Banjos, 4 strings, and even our infamous Banjo Bass. 

     The Gold Tone company is  committed to providing a quality  banjo at an affordable price. That means quality parts, professional design, tight fitting assembly, and an expert set up by real musicians. Wayne continually strives for "MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK" in every design and all price points. He plays every  instrument before shipment and verifies Gold Tone's commitment to great tone, superb set-up, and your musical satisfaction!
