One such, John Hartford, made extensive use of a low-tuned five string banjo (a 1920's twelve-inch Farland) in his music. While Béla already played a Gold Tone CEB-5 cello banjo, he felt that there should be a banjo to bridge the gap between the cello banjo (tuned to G, an octave below standard banjo) and the standard five string banjo. Béla collaborated with Gold Tone president, Wayne Rogers, for many months and, after overcoming numerous challenges and the building of several prototypes, the ML-1 \"Missing Link\" was born. Tuned to open C (in G configuration, i.e. an octave below the fifth fret of a standard five-string banjo), the ML-1 features a twelve-inch three-ply maple rim supporting a bronze tone ring. A specially made Remo Black Suede head mounts a custom 7\/8\" bridge and a custom-made set of all-wound strings that connect to a Gold Tone Terminator tailpiece. The hard rock Canadian maple neck is topped with a deep black ebony fingerboard, buffed to a compound radius (5\" to 9\") and outfitted with jumbo frets. The beautiful Art Nouveau style inlay pattern (designed by Béla) stretches down the entire length of the neck to the peghead, interrupted only by a Zero Glide nut (for extremely accurate intonation and low-friction tuning). Black binding and black Master Planetary tuner buttons complete the elegant look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jKvpqSB6jOc?si=UWlBw1_TKTvpD0xi\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\" style=\"letter-spacing: 0.02em; max-width: 100%; padding-top: 5%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanjo Type\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5-String Banjo\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Strings\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Strings\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstrument Spec\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaritone Banjo\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePot\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePot Type\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResonator\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePot Diameter\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePot Construction\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-Ply Maple Rim\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTone Ring Fitted\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTone Ring Type\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRolled Brass Tone Ring\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanjo Head Type\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Suede Head\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrown Height\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium Crown (7\/16\")\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTension Hoop\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotched Brass Tension Hoop\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Hooks\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e24\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridge\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaple 3 Round Foot with Ebony Tip\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridge Height\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7\/8\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTailpiece\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold Tone Terminator Tailpiece\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArm Rest Fitted\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResonator Material\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaple\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Material\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHard Rock Maple\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFingerboard\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEbony Radiused Compound\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Frets\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e22\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Inlays\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustom Nouveau\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale Length\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e26 1\/4\" (667mm)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeadstock\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Material\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBone\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Width\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 3\/8\" (35mm)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuners\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRear Facing Planetary Tuners\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuner Buttons\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Plastic\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinish\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinish\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloss\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuning\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen C Banjo CGCEG\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColor\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage Brown\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight or Left Handed\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight Handed\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied With Case\/Gig Bag\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHard Case\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufacturer Warranty\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Year\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Year\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9.2 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GOLD TONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58043089781081,"sku":"149120","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/3633\/6985\/files\/clipboard01_ksev_blfq_o.jpg?v=1778576884","url":"https:\/\/yourmusiconline.it\/en\/products\/gold-tone-ml-1-bela-fleck-5-string-baritone-banjo-con-case","provider":"yourmusiconline.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
