The banjo went directly from Angie's Banjo to Kyle for a professional setup giving it the ultimate playability, and tone and timbre that I desired. |

Overall Comments

I amazed at the sound and quality of this banjo. It can hold it's own with banjos double the price. Although this banjo is still settling in and I've only had it only a month I'm confident of my assessment.
I know there are many fine banjos out there but this evaluation is in comparison within the price range. |
