$150 Vs $1,900 Banjo! Can You Hear the Difference?

In this video I am comparing my Rogue b30 and Gold Tone OB 250+ banjos. There is a major sound difference in person, can you hear it?

Yes I heard the difference. One made my wallet scream

Edit: Lol I've somehow got this recommended to me again a year later and I remember how much I thought the expensive banjo was and vowed to never spend that much on a banjo. I now got the OB 2 mounted on my wall😂

Often times quality is experienced by the player and less by the listener

[willard]

They both sound good with a slight difference in sound.

[Spectralyzed]

Like others have said, I did hear a difference, but I wouldn't say it's a difference worth over 1700 dollars.

The quality of the instrument is not an issue in the hands of a master musician. Well done.

[revan]

Subtle difference but I think the more expensive one has a better high end and a better resonance

[Ilovebanjos]

You have to remember, our Banjo legends mostly started playing at a young age on homemade banjos. $150 banjos of today may be cheap, but it's levels ahead of what they even had.

[carollevola]

Honestly, his playing is what makes the cheap banjo sound a hell of a lot better than just the sum of it's parts. A good player can do that. High end gear can sometimes make a mediocre player sound notably better than they are. But only a truly skilled player can make bottom end gear sound on par with the cream. This guy is a banjo roller. Through and through.

The expensive one has a little richer and crisper tone but not enough to make a difference to me

[cardinalhamneggs]

I can hear a distinct difference, but I can’t tell which one is “better”.

[CoachJeff-iu]

I heard the difference but preferred the cheap one.

[carama]

I think you playing is making the difference absolutely wonderful

[krmhayes]

The $150 unit has a little more crack to it, which I like.

[camdudley]

I do hear a difference. That being said, the $150 one is still a great sound for the price point, especially for a beginner like myself!

[Kornholeeoo]

Boffum sound like sister-kissin mating calls! 😂😂 Now that’s funny right there!

[paulhopkins]

The first one is very bright and metallic, the second is more well rounded. I actually like the first one

[stephaniemccain]

As long as it sounds, feels, and looks like a banjo, it’s always good

[kiraalialeeonfairythegreenone]

The second one sounds almost like a beautiful harp or a zither.. Definitely different.💛The first one has a twangy metallic sound.

[TeeGaddy]

The Gold Tone has a slightly brighter and more pronounced tone, but if someone isn't paying attention to the differences they won't really notice it.

[JonathanWhoever]

Yep. Different. But only different. Both sound good.
