  • Outstanding Value for a beginners Banjo with additional equipment
Color: Full Size Sapele Banjo
Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo Review This is a somewhat lengthy write-up. Overview: I very much like the sound of bluegrass, particularly the banjo. This is my first string instrument that I am learning. I was not comfortable spending $500 or even $300 for a beginners/intermediate banjo, not knowing how committed I was going to be to learn. This Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo with the additional equipment at this “extremely affordable” price, was a great choice for me. I wanted a Resonator Banjo, which I had learned was the type of banjo typically used with 3-finger style bluegrass. The added benefit with this banjo is that you can remove the resonator if you wanted to play open back. Pros: For the price, I was extremely impressed with the quality and workmanship of this banjo. I mean, it’s beautiful. Does not appear Cheaply built at all, As a beginner, I have no idea what a “good” sounding banjo vs a “cheap” sounding banjo is. To me, this banjo once tuned sounds great. One nice additional component, was a clear plastic measured strip used to accurately place the bridge. Cons: - “kmise-us” Company communication was lacking. During my research for an affordable, quality beginners banjo, I had stumbled on this other Kmise Banjo https://www.amazon.com/Kmise-String-Closed-Strings-MI2953-KUS/dp/B081NBC5P9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=Q79X54PX90NF&keywords=Kmise+5+String&qid=1660913528&sprefix=kmise+5+string%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-3 This Kmise Banjo is advertised as “Kmise, 5-String Banjo, Full Size (MI2953-KUS)” $169.99 Going back and forth to the “Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo” $157.99 they look to be exactly the same, offering the same additional gear. (Tuner, Gear bag, Strap…..) I sent a message to the Company, it’s been two weeks, no response. Just wanted to know the difference between the two. The only difference I could see, other than the price, was when the product was released. 07/09/2020 vs 11/17/2019 Not a huge deal, but I was curious. - Boxing/Packaging When the box arrived (this is a big box), there was a single strip of packing tape running down the length of the Box (40” in length), and no packing tape across the width. The packing tape was not secure for the lower ½ of the box, which allowed my hand to reach in to the inside triangular box (where the banjo resides in the gear bag), and the banjo box was “lifted” on one edge. Possible a Quality Assurance measure, to insure the banjo was indeed in the triangular box, or… someone was nosy. Haha.. I was there waiting inside when Amazon made the deliver. I immediately took out the banjo for a thorough inspection, and to insure all advertised accompanied gear was in the box. Everything was there, and no damage to the banjo. - Small defect Upon inspection, I did notice a very small “blemish” near the nut on the lower part of the headstock. But it was so small an inconsequential, and for the price I paid, I was not going to return for a replacement for something that I could not really notice. - Included Metal Hooks (for the Strap) I attached the two metal hooks to the provided Strap,and attached to the two “hookups” on the banjo, and after about 4 days, as I was standing, one of the hooks just broke. I had a firm handle on the banjo, so I did not drop it. I inspected the hook, and it basically snapped in half. I had an old leather carry bag and two brass hooks that I was no longer using, so I just fitted these two brass hooks on the strap, and I’m good to go. Summary: I highly recommend this banjo for the beginner. You cannot go wrong given the very low price and all the additional equipment that comes with it. Beautiful banjo and great sound. If I stay committed in learning, I may upgrade with a higher quality banjo, but much later in life. Before investing in a newer banjo, if I get to that point where I can actually play confidently, the upgrades I would perform on this banjo would be higher quality strings, a higher quality bridge, and new tuning pegs if needed. I replaced the included metal finger/thumb picks with some descent picks. As far as this banjo staying in tune, I have been playing every day/every other day for approx 20-30min each session, and only had to re-tune once yesterday. (a 2 week period) So for me, it holds the tune well. I can see myself learning on this banjo easily for at least the next 5 years. Great purchase choice for me. ... show more

  • Easy to learn, well made, and a good value
Color: Brown Maple Banjolele
Bought this as a novelty item as I have never played a banjo or a ukulele in my life, however I have years of guitar playing experience. Within 30 minutes I was able to jam out a few tunes and even teach my daughter one. It's perfect for getting kids into learning music! Easy to learn and play, made well, holds tune good enough to easily enjoy this instrument. Good value for the price. ... show more

  • Great sound
Color: Brown Maple Banjolele
Why did you pick this product vs others?: It was recommended from my Ukulele group, I first played it as an open - back Banjoele, with a rag stuffed between the top and the rod in back. I am happy with the loudness, so I left the back on. I feel this tone is warm, cozy, and delightful! It sounds great when playing ragtime or other oldies music. Very happy. Assemby was easy, and It does need tuning between days i play, but for the money, it’s terrific! ... show more

  • Requires a Lot of Setup
Color: Full Size Sapele Banjo
The banjo sounds good for the price. However, there are a lot of problems with the banjo. Many screws were loose. The strings hit the tension hoop when playing at the highest frets. The tuners have some play in them before the string changes pitch. Tightening the screws seemed to help a bit with this, but the problem didn't disappear entirely. Expect to do a lot of work on the banjo if you buy it. I will probably keep the banjo, but I wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now. I'd spend a little more and get an entry level Gold Tone or Deering. ... show more
