    5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginners banjo package
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023
    Bought as a Christmas present for our daughter. She loves it and enjoys learning to play it. Didn’t want to spend a lot to begin with, until we knew if she would stay with it. Seems to be well made and all the accessories that come with it are a good bonus for the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great birthday present! (Get metal picks separate from this package)
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021
    The media could not be loaded.
    Knowing my wife enjoys music (you should see all the ukuleles she has!) and loves to teach herself new skills, I had to think of something along those lines to get her for her birthday. I tried to find some exotic musical instruments, but nothing piqued my interest. I finally decided I would get a banjo!

    Deciding on what kind of banjo to get was a bit more difficult. I wanted a true banjo, but I didn't have the money to put down $500 - $1500 on an instrument. So I was finding mostly banjo ukes. I finally landed on this banjo after the many reviews. Also, based on reviews, I bought a pack of metal picks. Trust me, get a pack of metal picks!

    The banjo arrived in good condition. Only the box had some minor damage. She got her banjo tuned and has been practicing it daily since. (See the video which is about a week's practice.) We haven't needed to make any bridge adjustments.

    This banjo comes with plastic picks the strap and a tuner. The plastic picks definitely have a weaker sound. The strap is fine. And I can't say anything about the tuner. We have a bunch of these small tuners and have stored this one away until the others are lost or broken.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great starter banjo
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020
    Great little starter banjo for the price. You definitely want to inspect it before the return date comes and goes. Mine has several cosmetic flaws, but sounded pretty good coming out of the box. The tuner works ok once you figure it out, you definitely need to tune it in chromatic mode.
    The strap that came with it is absolute garbage and if you plan on doing bluegrass the picks can go in the trash with the strap, but for the price the banjo and tuner are worth it for a beginner. Can't comment much on the cloth bag as I bought a hard case when I ordered the banjo. At a glance, it's not insulated or padded but it looks rugged enough to keep your new banjo clean when not in use and let you carry it around if you're not abusive.
    Took it to a local music shop for setup (the action was a little high) and the guy was very impressed by the quality of the sound and that a banjo with resonator that sounds this good could be had for less than $400.
    Toyed with it for about 2 weeks before taking it in for setup just to get a little comfortable with my picking before having precision adjustments made. Didn't need much. He brought the action down just a bit and straightened the neck slightly. The bridge shipped in the right spot (this is not to say yours will) and all it needed was tuning the day it was delivered.
    Mine was delivered exactly 7 days after it was ordered.
    4 stars because of the garbage strap that won't attach to the banjo without being tied on with string, and the cosmetic flaws from manufacturing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice instrument.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020
    What a great banjo for a beginner like me. I put new strings and a different (1/2 inch) bridge, oiled the fret board and the inside of the body and cleaned up a couple of fret ends. I will need to secure one of the frets that has lifted out of the board very slightly but it doesn’t seem to effect the playability so far. Made some other minor adjustments and it sounds great so far. I would highly recommend getting some metal picks to give it some punch/volume and for good solid tone. Sure there are some very minor workmanship flaws here and there as expected at this price point but I rather enjoy going through the set up as I think it helps me get familiar with the instrument. The only real issue I could mention is that on mine (not sure about all of them) the arm rest bolt sits on top of one of the nuts that secure the resonator. Not that big of an issue but the resonator can’t be taken off without first removing the arm rest. I suppose a person could move the armrest toward the neck if it bothers them too much. Customer service is outstanding. I would recommend this instrument to anyone who has an interest in learning to pick. It has been fun for me—it’s been about a week and almost already have Cripple Creek locked in. Slow but sure. Happy picking.

    Looks beautiful
    Unfortunately the neck was broken and had no accessories as listed
    I guess it was a return that slipped through the net

    Five stars on the banjo. Nice action.Great tone. Well made.
    The only problem was the condition the box arrived in. Huge puncture and tear exposing the foam interior wrapper at top of neck and behind the resonator. Fortunately, the instrument was not impacted. I suggest Amazon put the factory box inside a heavier shipping container. Other than that, I'm extremely pleased.
