More information about Cedar Mountain banjos can be found on their website. If you check out the Jubilo line section, you can hear David Holt play a J200 banjo like this one (except that his is a “G” scale.)

I’m rationalising my banjo collection after going a bit manic over the last two years and collecting 12 banjos Hence the sale of this banjo and some others.
