I've been looking for intermmediate/advanced DVD's for a while and after quite a few dissapointments, I believe I have found a gem here. Mr. Munde will push you to a higher level of playing. If he can't then you probably don't need any lessons.
Not a super high quality production, just great versions of classic songs with detailed instruction and tab. I feel as though I get to sit down with him and really delve into his great style of playing.
If your looking for something to really push your scruggs/reno/melodic playing, you can't pass this one up. |

I'm basically repeating a review from another of Mr. Munde's DVD's as I could only put one title in each reveiw.

Very nice crisp "mastertoneish" sound I was looking for. Really suprised. |

Setup
|
Setup was not as good as hoped but all in all, the factory did a nice job as compared to most local shops. Still fiddling around with the setup to get just the sound I'm looking for but I got a good starting point right out of the box. |

This is not a fancy banjo but I knew that when I bought it. I actually love the looks of it. |

Components
|
A small manufacturing defect around the pearl inlay on the 19th fret. Doesn't affect the playability but I'm not extremely happy with it. |

After 30 years of playing, I could not be happier with this fantastic banjo. I would have no problem going on any stage or jam and jumping right in with this banjo, I just wish I had it when I was in the music biz.
Yes, I could have bought a used banjo a little further up the chain but I did not find any that were worth buying a used vs a new as far as sound quality. Maybe if I wanted to wait and luck upon that kind of deal, but I didn't want to and now see I didn't need to. For a real pro banjo, I don't think you can beat this one. |
