  • Price - Quality ratio = Superb!
I purchased this banjo for my husband's 40th b-day. It has been a decades long wish of his to try and play banjo and I was so pleased to find this unbelievable deal for such a quality instrument! I wanted to find him something solid, with good reviews (I checked several sites), a little bit of "flair" (beautiful solid hard woods and mother of pearl fret inlays), but was also easy to learn on. So far, this banjo has fit the bill! I spent a long time researching and shopping on various sites and found this banjo to be the most reasonably priced (for the quality). Now, keep in mind it does NOT come set up or tuned (some other sites offered this option before shipping, and I'm not sure if this co. would have... I was too anxious to get it shipped quicker!). You can take it in to any local music store to have it tuned or if you are musically inclined at all, you can do what we did= I purchased a Snark tuner, also from Amazon... an incredible device!! And I got "Banjo for Dummies" (silly name, but highest rated book on many sites & is extremely thorough, so..!). Between these two "tools," my hubby has successfully set up his instrument and begun to strum. It has a nice, solid clear sound. So, two weeks out... we are both extremely satisfied. (And if he decides it's not the instrument for him, I didn't put out too much moola to feel remiss about it!). It is the perfect starter banjo... and it really is beautifully crafted. If things change, I'll update. But as of now, I highly recommend it! Oh- and as far as shipping... I only paid for standard (very reasonable) and it arrived in just a few days, well packaged, and in a presentable box. ... show more

  • Great sounding banjo for a great price.
Now I don't have much experience with banjos, but this is a great product. I bought it as a christmas present for my friend and was a bit weary because of the review. It was delivered 2 business days after I place the order and came in a huge box. Since I'm more used to guitar I felt it a bit small, but it's actually pretty standard. As for my first impression, all I could think was how awesome and convenient it was. The strings are already on the body and all I have to do is attach the fretboard and tune. With all instruments, it takes a bit of time for the strings to adjust to the tension (making them go out of tune quickly) so keep that in mind. The sound resonated beautifully and for the price, it's a steal. Especially if you're someone who wants to learn or has a relative who likes music and it's almost christmas and you don't know what to get them and you want to show them you care, so you get them a banjo. I do not regret this purchase at all. tldr; SHIP FAST. SOUND GOOD. ... show more

  • Exactly what I had in mind
I'm a first-time banjo player, and although I can't specify the *minor differences between a super high or low end banjo vs each other, I can say that I love the sound resonance and overall craftsmanship of this banjo. After visiting a couple of local music shops, the price comparison is major, some banjos (like any stringed instrument) can get steep! However for the overall quality to price juxtapose, I'd say it hits a sweet spot on the 80/20 bell-curve. Thanks for helping me fuel some long-standing dreams, PyleUSA, you rock. :) ... show more

  • Good, inexpensive way to get into things; some assembly required.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this banjo. I didn't expect it to be great because of the price, but it surpassed my expectations. A couple of things worth knowing that aren't mentioned in the description: 1) The rim is layered wood (I thought it might be aluminum because of the price, so that was a pleasant surprise). 2) The tuning peg for the 5th string is a friction peg, not geared. Even still, the cost of replacing it with a geared peg is so low, it still makes this banjo worth the buy. I ordered it next-day so it didn't have a lot of time to get damaged in transit. I don't know what kind of tone ring it has, if any, because I didn't take the time to remove the head to inspect that part. The sound is good, the bridge is easy to install (I followed the instructions in Banjo for Dummies), the neck is a good width, and the strings are easy on the fingers and give a clear tone. The only complaints I have are that the frets closest to the pot have a very slight gap between them and the fret board on the 5th string side (not the other side, though); although it's not ideal, it doesn't affect the playability for now. I think with proper care, it won't be a problem. The other complaint I have is that the tuning peg for the 5th string wasn't anchored in the neck. At all. When I tried to tune the string, the peg would immediately turn back to its original position. The guy at the local acoustic musical instrument store told me to get a screwdriver and tighten the screw visible in the tuning key. When I tried that, the peg came out of the neck in my hand. I called the store again, and the same guy told me Elmer's school glue would fix that problem. I used it, and it did a fantastic job, just be sure you don't use too much or it makes a mess; and you also only want to use it on the fluted outer part because you don't want to accidentally glue the part that is supposed to turn, or you'll ruin the whole thing. Overall, I'd say this is a great instrument for anyone who is just getting into the banjo or trying it out to see if they like it. It's very inexpensive, looks great, and sounds good. ... show more
