Sound
|
Just started playing a few months back. Sounds great to me. Not enough of a player to expound on the banjo's sound qualities. |

Setup
|
Bridge position wasn't right, drum head needed to be tightened, strings were strung kind of weird through the tailpiece resulting in lots of sitar like buzz. Will Fielding in Marlboro VT straightened things out. Banjo was gift from a mail order company; reasonable to expect it needs a setup. |

Absolutely would recommend the banjo to someone looking to start out playing bluegrass banjo (like me). The banjo was a gift which kind of sketched me out. I usually prefer to pick out instruments but just love this thing. Sounds really good for what I think it cost - even considering it needed a setup. Expect it will be the banjo I play until I can play half + of the tunes off Foggy Mountain Banjo and know what 'sound' I want. |
