I had to tighten the tuner on the A string but the rest tuned up well. I will probably change the strings in the near future. Plays well and sounds good. Review: lightweight, slim, not too loud - I really like how lightweight and slim it is. Get a good strap and it's extremely comfortable. Not very loud, but for an apartment dweller that's an advantage. With a little bridge adjustment, I was able to get basically perfect intonation all the way up the neck. Good first tenor or practice instrument. The dirt-cheap gig bag it comes with might as well be made of wet paper towel, but for the price I'm not complaining. ## Features - 19 fret tenor banjo - Zero glide nut for most desired intonation - Composite 11" Rim with Remo head - Flat bar tension hoop - Includes bag with backpack strap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BSQZSZ1 | | Back Material Type | Nato | | Best Sellers Rank | #80,296 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #68 in Banjos (Musical Instruments) | | Body Material Type | Composite | | Brand Name | Gold Tone | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (27) | | Finish Type | Black / Satin | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00875116006198 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Gigbag Included | | Instrument | Banjo, Tenor Banjo | | Instrument Size | Tenor | | Item Dimensions | 35 x 12.5 x 3 inches | | Item Type Name | Banjo | | Item Weight | 1.59 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Gold Tone, Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | AC-4 | | Material Type | Acrylic, Maple | | Model Name | AC-4 Tenor Banjo | | Model Number | AC-4 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Plastic | | UPC | 875116006198 | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer., On faulty parts.

I had to tighten the tuner on the A string but the rest tuned up well. I will probably change the strings in the near future. Plays well and sounds good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ lightweight, slim, not too loud *by L***T on February 9, 2026* I really like how lightweight and slim it is. Get a good strap and it's extremely comfortable. Not very loud, but for an apartment dweller that's an advantage. With a little bridge adjustment, I was able to get basically perfect intonation all the way up the neck. Good first tenor or practice instrument. The dirt-cheap gig bag it comes with might as well be made of wet paper towel, but for the price I'm not complaining. ### ⭐ Not recommended at all *by K***Y on February 7, 2026* I hate giving bad reviews but feel I need to warn others. This banjo had obviously never been setup. Strings were barely tightened. The edge of the frets were very sharp and even drew blood. Even tuning it down to the G tuning didn’t help the playability of this banjo. I boxed it back up within the first hour and returned it. One string had bad fret buzz. I know this was not an expensive instrument but it still has to be playable, this Gold Tone tenor banjo was not. It did however look nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gold Tone, 4-String Banjo, Right (AC-4) - D'Addario Irish Tenor Banjo Strings, Nickel-Plated Steel, EJ63i, Medium Gauge 12-36, 5-String Set, Pack of 1 - Absolute Beginners - Irish Tenor Banjo | Complete Guide to Playing Irish Style Tenor Banjo | Step-by-Step Instruction Songbook with Online Audio Access | Learn Tenor Banjo with Backing Tracks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/131640808-ac-4-composite-4-string-tenor-banjo](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/131640808-ac-4-composite-4-string-tenor-banjo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
