Sound
|
The banjo has a rich soulful bass, the low notes can be felt and are a form of sound therapy for me. The mids and highs are crystyal clear. This Banjo has a sound of its own and non other compare. |

Setup
|
The set up was perfect, with only tweeking of the Nylgut strings to compensate for stretching in and the natural skin head as it adjusted to it's new invironment. |

Overall Comments
|
I would recomment this banjo even if I had paid considerably more than I did and if I ever have to replace it I will pay what ever the going price would be at the time. I absolutely love this banjo and my wire string has been left hanging on the wall wishing it got even half of the playing time |
