Great, nylon strings. Lovely sound. Smooth finish. Needs better metal picks.
Strings took several days to stabilize but then held tuning well.
Neck is standard width, but after lots of effort I realized that I need a wide-neck banjo.
This instrument should work very well for a younger beginner with good dexterity and "normal" finger width.

DCExcellent beginner banjo.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
On the weaker side, the suggested placing of the bridge does not seem to be correct, and getting the banjo to stay in tune is a bit of a challenge. The tailpiece is a good looking and shiny piece of chrome, but it's not covered where the strings are tied and the sharp ends of the protruding strings will hurt your hand if you're not careful. These are all relatively minor issues though, and not reason enough to turn your back on this set.
It's too early to weigh in on the durability of the instrument, but if the banjo stays more or less the same in a year, then this would be a good investment. Recommended.
