The sound is due in no small measure to the AC-5s modern composite shell. This strong, resonant material is light in weight but high in stiffness and trouble-free. Coupled with the maple resonator back, the AC-5 produces a punchy fourth-string bark and clear ringing high notes. You cant find a better first banjo, childs banjo or travel banjo than the Gold Tone AC-5.
