Features

  • Superior Frosted Remo Head with 24 Brackets:The 5-string banjo features a superior frosted Remo head, which can produce a warm, bright and sweet sound. And 24 steel brackets hold the head in place, with which you can adjust the drum head to get a desired resonating sound effect. Besides, the drum head is also fitted with armrest to facilitate playing.
  • Open-back or Resonator Banjo: The solid back board is detachable so as to get different sound effect to meet your needs. You can play the closed-back banjo for a brighter resonator tone. Or you can also play an open-back one with mellower and softer sound. Just use the wrench (included) to remove the back board.
  • Come with Strap & Carrying Bag: You can attach the strap to the lightweight banjo (only 6.6 lbs) and carry it to play. The bonus gig bag is waterproof and can protect the banjo during your trip. Thus, you are able to take the instrument anywhere and enjoy the melody anytime!
  • Premium Material & Fine Craftsmanship: This premium banjo is mainly composed of plywood frame, Sapele back, Nato wood panel, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and steel string. Selected materials and exquisite workmanship ensure the banjos quality timbre and long-lasting durability.
  • Complete Beginner Kit: It comes with a digital tuner, a set of spare string, a gig bag, a strap, 2 wrenches, 3 picks and a wiper for users to get start right away! String height can be adjusted by wrench, to enable a comfortable action and straight neck for you. And the banjo is equipped with a geared 5th tuner side peg to keep it in tone better.

  • For a beginner it’s great!
I am in the process of learning to play. It may take me some time to learn but I am committed and love the sound of the banjo. I am taking lessons and read every thing I can get my hands on. This banjo seems to be well made for the price. The gig bag is a little flimsy so I purchased a nicer one but all in all I would recommend this banjo for a beginner. ... show more

  • I Like It
It's a nice banjo for me to learn on. The appearance is much better than I expected, especially at the price. The wood used on the resonator is beautiful.

  • Good for beginners
It's a good looking banjo and sounds really good . Being a low end pricewise there are some assembly flaws . Nothing major . Now all I have to do is learn to play .

  • Not well made
One of the tuning knobs fell off. Came completely out of the wood.

  • Great starter bango!
The media could not be loaded. I would have gave it 5 stars but when my son began to play it, after assembly, the nut on the 5th fret that holds the fifth string came off. So I just changed the direction of the string on the tunner without the plastic nut so it would not have a buzzing sound. The parchment paper on the head is high quality and provides a good tone. He loves it. ... show more

  • Instrument is pretty good, but there are issues
So, I'll preface this review by saying I'm a complete beginner and am not well versed in quality or play of the instrument. That said, there is a small flaw on the neck of the banjo. I don't think it will hurt the sound, so not a big deal (I think). The bag was damaged in the box. It looks like the Styrofoam melted to the bag. The bag is honestly trash. No padding and super thin. The strap is also super cheap and thin. I wouldn't trust it to hold up the weight of the instrument. The strings feel super cheap as well, so I'll be buying some better ones. Not a deal breaker, and I kind of expected it. The tuner is utter trash. The battery was just stuck in the clamp part. The battery compartment lid won't stay on and the battery just fell out any time I tried yo use it. The power also constantly flickered constantly. I'll be buying a different one as well. All in, for the price, I think it will be fine for me to learn to play on. If I stick with it, I will need to buy a nicer one. ... show more
