Banjos
Way back in 1999 we wanted to offer a good quality banjo at a fair price. Right at the same time Gold Tone emerged out of Florida with a similar vision. Today Gold Tone makes and carries all kinds of instruments beyond the banjo and their banjo line runs the gamut from entry level to professional. Open back or resonator.
Today other banjo makers have stepped up to provide quality products that simply didn’t exist in years past. We’re pleased to carry banjos by Recording King and any good used banjo that we can find.

Recording King Elite 75
Recording King Madison OT26
The RK Madison OT26 features the Whyte Laydie tone ring, delivering a traditional tone with a percussive lilt. A hand-rubbed satin finish, maple neck with adjustable truss rod, and a true steam-bent maple rim make this a mighty pleasing vintage-style picking machine.
The scalloped Whyte Laydie tone ring is prized for its warm but punchy tone, allowing each fundamental note to speak clearly without distracting overtones. A no-knot tailpiece and precise tension control from the 24-bracket tension hoop add to the features, along with dual coordinator rods & truss rod, Remo FiberSkyn head, and Mastertone-style armrest.
Price: $799. Case or bag extra.

We are easy to reach from both the San Antonio International Airport and from Downtown.
From Downtown
We are at 4330 McCullough, and McCullough goes all the way downtown. In the old days, it was one of the few routes out of down town that didn’t cross railroad tracks. (A big deal when you have a wagon – I’ve heard. Never experienced it.) The maps and driving directions will help alot. Easy to know when you’re getting close because we’re just past the traffic circle/fountain.
