For Sale: As played by Ben Eldridge, Tony Trischka etc., 1980's Tokai ( Gold Star) 5-string Banjo

Japanese branded Gold Star "Tokai" 1981 vintage banjo.
These are great banjos.
Don't take my word for it, take Ben Eldridge's (p. 228, "Masters of The 5-String Banjo) or Tony Trischka's (p. 354, "Masters of The 5-String Banjo) regarding each's opinion of how good their "Tokai's" sounded. Ben even recorded using his own Tokai on an album he cut with Phil Rosenthal.
