Features

  • Remo Head: This open-back banjo kit is flawlessly designed with a Remo head. The professional retro imitation animal skin; is warm and retro tone, delicate, transparent, with moderate overtones. The head is secured with 24 chrome-plated brackets and resting on the Remo's head is a beautiful 5/8" maple/ebony bridge for superior string vibration transfer.
  • Sound - The open back produces a more mellow, softer sound, and since the sound chamber rests against the player, some of the sounds are absorbed into his clothing and the players body, which lowers the banjos volume
  • Adjustable Bracket - 24 brackets ensure even head panel tension to fusion melodious percussion timbres by gently beating on the head, It can be adjusted according to the sound you want
  • Geared 5th Tuner and Adjustable Truss rod: This 5-string banjo also includes a geared 5th string tuner, typically found on more expensive banjos. The geared 5th tuner is an upgrade over the common friction tuner, providing more accurate tuning and less slippage. The adjustable truss rod allows you to adjust the neck, ensuring it remains straight
  • Mulucky Banjo Kit: The 5-string banjo kit comes with a full-size banjo x1, spare strings set x1, tuner x1, tuning wrench x2, fingerpick x4, strap x1, cleaning cloth x1, and gig bag x1, ruler x 1.

  • Much better banjo than I anticipated.
I ordered what I thought was going to be a cheap banjo to take with me to the woods camping, that I wouldn't be too sad if it gets a little beat up. (Because hey... It's the woods. Am I right?) This is definitely not the case. When I opened the box to inspect it, I was blown away with its beautiful finish. Besides the bridge it was completely set up and adjusted. I checked the pot tensioners and placed the bridge, and she tuned right up! Great tone and action! If you do order this banjo I would however recommend getting a nice set of strings too, because almost every instrument comes with cheap strings and this was no exception. The only bummer is now I have to take care of her because for the money you probably will not find a better banjo. Well done Mulucky! Very pleasantly surprised. ... show more

  • A great open-back, full-size banjo.
Color: MB1101
I buy a lot of different instruments to custom-decorate and resell through Etsy. This is my go-to instrument in a quality open-back banjo at a very affordable price.

  • Good for beginners
Color: MB1101
Pros: - cheap This is a beginner's banjo meant to help you get comfortable before spending more on a professional instrument. - full set of beginner's equipment Finger picks, digital tuner, head tensioner, it does include a guitar strap not meant for this banjo but can be improvised. - comfortable Has a decent arm rest and the entire banjo is nicely rounded for decent comfort. - shipped properly Bridge not installed to avoid damage, this is how professional instruments are also shipped. The box it was shipped in was quite large but I suspect that's amazon's doing and not the manufacturer. Cons: - beginner's equipment is also cheap The finger picks will have to be adjusted to fit properly and to work as intended for the instrument. - no instructions Tuning and bridge installation are easy to find, took me like 5 minutes. - soft wood The neck of the banjo is made of a softer untreated wood prone to staining, I like this as it gives it a more worn look but may be a con for some. ... show more

  • Happily surprised
I wasn't too sure given the price, but I took a chance. I used to play banjo and know what they are supposed to feel like. I wanted an open back and took a chance on this one. Everything is great. The neck angle is fine. The action is comfortably low. I can play all the way up the neck without buzzing. My goal was to see if I wanted to pick up the instrument again, so I didn't want to invest much. This surpassed my expectations. The neck is smooth to my hand. The fret edges are filed smooth. The tuning machines hold well. There is a plastic measuring piece that sits on the neck so you can figure out where you should set the bridge. The bridge is one of the heaviest I have seen, but it does the job and sounds good. So that is the point. They don't tell you to put the angled side facing the fingerboard, so it took me a moment to remember that. That is to keep the bridge from tipping as you tune. There is a set of extra strings that was wound up so tight and unmarked I just tossed them. It would be hard for a beginner to figure out which string goes where. So if you are a beginner, pick up an extra set or two of strings to keep around. You will likely over tighten an pop a string. It happens to us all. The gigbag is a nice fit and they include the tools you might need to adjust the tension of the neck should you need to. But I did not need to. The tuner works. Overall it is an excellent beginners banjo. Throw the picks away. They are laughably bad. But I sort of expected them to be. I did not open the strap. So no comment on that. ... show more

  • My favorite of 5 banjos
Color: MB1101
The media could not be loaded. Bought this on a whim because it was my fifth banjo, but it was cheap so why not check it out? I didn't expect it to become my favorite. All my other banjos cost more so they should be better, right? Well not this time. It rings clearer and warmer without tuning the head, and I have a head tuner. All my other banjo heads are tuned but I won't even touch this one. If it sounds good don't mess with it. These guys thought of everything to get you sounding like you're riding a bale of cotton on a steam packet. It's an absurdly good value. ... show more

  • It's actually pretty good
Color: MB1101
I bought it for parts, I needed hooks and shoes in a hurry and this was the only way to get them in time for what I was doing. For being as cheap as it was though, it's a legit banjo. I played it a good while before I stripped it and it played well. It's the sort of banjo you get when you don't know if you're going to actually be interested in banjos or you're a guitarist who just wants one around to mess with and it's fine. The gig bag is ok too, but the tuner and finger picks are no good at all ... show more

  • Good banjo for the money...not perfect.
Great sound, nice setup. That's what counts. I'll live with the scars on the inside of the rim where the maple veneer was sanded away. There is a lighter colored wood showing through. That's ok, the sound is good and loud. I'll live with the strange maple looking veneer glued to the edge of the rim. It's not sticking in a few places. I'll get some super glue in there to fix it. The neck is beautiful with a nice fret job and binding. I like the shape of the neck - neither too thick or thin, just right. The peghead is the thinnest peghead I've ever seen on a banjo. It's probably sturdy but I plan on putting a peghead veneer on. And while I'm doing that I will install some $50 planetary tuners. The tuners that it came with are too close to the edge thus pinching my fingers when I tune it. Plus one of them is slipping already. For this price I knew they'd be junk. But I'm very happy with the hefty weight of the rim, the nice metal hoop, the brackets and the neck, and everything is nicely lined up, and a bone nut!! The bag's zipper was broken but I'll be getting a better bag or box for it. I'm glad I bought it, even with the quirks. ... show more
