  • High-Quality Remo Drum Head: The selected banjo panel will produce a sweet tone, ensuring clarity of sound. Proper bridge setting can stay stable when fast fingerpicking. You can also gently beat the head to fusion different timbres in your melodies.
  • Economical Kit: It Comes with a banjo, a bag, guitar Tuner, Strap, Pick, Strings, and Picks, you can get these accessories which is suited to beginners one-off at a cost-effective price.
  • Geared 5th Tuner: It is important for both tuning and playability, bringing you the classic tones, and perfect for country, folk, bluegrass, and even some modern rock. It is an important upgrade over the common friction tuner.
  • When you get a new banjo, regardless of the brand or model, it is necessary to allow the strings and banjo to have sufficient break-in, because the tension of the strings at standard notes is several tens of pounds. So, pls do as follows: 1. Adjust the strings to standard pitch 2. Use your right hand to gently and repeatedly pull each string 2-3 times 3. Open the tuner again and adjust the strings to standard pitch 4. Repeat steps 1-3 at least 3 times, and ensure that the tension of the strings is fully engaged with the body. PS: Because the strings have a certain degree of resilience and tension, when not played for a long time , they may be a little out of tune.It is a normal phenomenon

Sounds good, quality lacking
Size: 38 Inch Style: sunset yellow backboard
It sounds great and everything and totally worth the price but it came with the back detached and scratches from that.

Arrived broken but packaging was not damaged
Size: 38 Inch Style: sunset yellow backboard
This was supposed to be a birthday gift for my son. The neck of the banjo was broken despite the packaging being intact. Returning and hopefully getting a replacement.

Good banjo. Useless accessories.
Size: 38 Inch Style: sunset yellow backboard
Strings broke immediately and extra set broke instantly. Bought some real strings and everything fine now. The included tuner is useless as is the strap. Bag is Ok. Good quality banjo though. Just don’t pay extra for all the garbage they include.

As a beginner this is a great banjo.
Size: 38 Inch Style: sunset yellow backboard
Just started the banjo. Never played a string instrument. So far it's been a great banjo. Holds the strings in tune and sounds great.
