 Bought this on a whim because it was my fifth banjo, but it was cheap so why not check it out? I didn't expect it to become my favorite. All my other banjos cost more so they should be better, right? Well not this time.

It rings clearer and warmer without tuning the head, and I have a head tuner. All my other banjo heads are tuned but I won't even touch this one. If it sounds good don't mess with it.

These guys thought of everything to get you sounding like you're riding a bale of cotton on a steam packet. It's an absurdly good value.

I wasn't too sure given the price, but I took a chance. I used to play banjo and know what they are supposed to feel like. I wanted an open back and took a chance on this one. Everything is great. The neck angle is fine. The action is comfortably low. I can play all the way up the neck without buzzing. My goal was to see if I wanted to pick up the instrument again, so I didn't want to invest much. This surpassed my expectations. The neck is smooth to my hand. The fret edges are filed smooth. The tuning machines hold well. There is a plastic measuring piece that sits on the neck so you can figure out where you should set the bridge. The bridge is one of the heaviest I have seen, but it does the job and sounds good. So that is the point. They don't tell you to put the angled side facing the fingerboard, so it took me a moment to remember that. That is to keep the bridge from tipping as you tune. There is a set of extra strings that was wound up so tight and unmarked I just tossed them. It would be hard for a beginner to figure out which string goes where. So if you are a beginner, pick up an extra set or two of strings to keep around. You will likely over tighten an pop a string. It happens to us all. The gigbag is a nice fit and they include the tools you might need to adjust the tension of the neck should you need to. But I did not need to. The tuner works. Overall it is an excellent beginners banjo. Throw the picks away. They are laughably bad. But I sort of expected them to be. I did not open the strap. So no comment on that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent beginner banjo for the price, garbage accessories
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2023
Is this an amazing quality banjo? Absolutely not. You get what you pay for. But it's decent enough to learn on. It's got a pretty good sound and looks nice. I wish it came with instructions on how to install the bridge, but with a little Googling, you can figure it out.

However, the accessories are terrible. The strap I got looks nothing like the nice plain one in the picture. The one I got is a jarring pattern of puke green and orange. It's truly awful. And the finger picks also suck. The tuner turns on but doesn't pick up pitches properly at all.

You might as well add some decent finger picks and a strap to your car with this banjo, and download a free tuner app.

TLDR; Keep the banjo, put the accessories straight in the trash.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mulucky is "my lucky" banjo. A good set up and it sounds great.

I read the notice that the package (not the banjo) had some damage but for the reduced price I ordered anyway. Well, the box was not a pretty sight and my wife said I should send it back: Glad that I did not listen to her this time.

The box had damage but not the banjo. This is a really well made banjo with quality materials, however, it did need a setup. I have worked on guitars, dulcimers and mandolins so had an idea of what to do and the tools needed to complete the set up was with the banjo: Minus an open end wrench. Will change the strings to bring out the full potential for this well made and great looking banjo

Use the bridge placement plastic aid to locate the bridge and most of what you need to do is done. I had to make small movements of the bridge to get the intonation (harmonic) set and left the pencil marks on the head for future reference.

Looking at this banjo, if it did not have the word Mulucky on the head stock I would compare it to two more expensive banjos of same quality. Lesson here is, less expensive does not mean cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's actually pretty good
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023
I bought it for parts, I needed hooks and shoes in a hurry and this was the only way to get them in time for what I was doing. For being as cheap as it was though, it's a legit banjo. I played it a good while before I stripped it and it played well.
It's the sort of banjo you get when you don't know if you're going to actually be interested in banjos or you're a guitarist who just wants one around to mess with and it's fine.
The gig bag is ok too, but the tuner and finger picks are no good at all

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023
I must confess, this banjos quality far exceeds my expectations. I purchased this banjo for my break times at work. A light functional banjo was my hope for practice while on my breaks. I am surprised and happy with this product.
Notes: setup required 30 minutes. I removed tension on the strings until the bridge fit without much pressure on the head. The guide is very close to proper placement but not exact. You will need to check placement by viewing bridge setup videos on YouTube.
Next I used a drum dial to tighten the head to 90. Recommended set between 89 to 91 for your banjo head. This required 20 minutes of tightening individual tension hoops.
After getting the head close to 90. Tune your strings several times each. Once you tune string one, the tuning changes once string two is tuned and so forth. Once you have each string tuned, check the head again with the drum dial.
Good luck. I recommend this banjo for beginners and for anyone needing a travel banjo.
