Sound


It's all there! Clear, crisp, just enough bass. Very well balanced with great note separation, and voice. Lots of volume which can be varied without loss of tone character.

Setup was perfect as one would expect from this master builder. I'm very particular about set-up, but nothing had to be changed on this Banjo.
