The Gold Tone MB-850+ brings together the bell-like clarity of a mandolin and the projection of an 11-inch banjo pot in one beautifully finished instrument that is ready to work.

This instrument is brand new, in perfect, unplayed condition.

The MB-850+ is professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, Florida and ships directly from Gold Tone.
