Bean Blossom Bean Blossom Deluxe  Reviews

Bean Blossom Bean Blossom Deluxe submitted 2/11/2006 Submitter Unknown Where Purchased Shuffs Music Year Purchased 2005 Price Paid 230 ($US) Sound The sound out of this insturment is decent considering it is a starter banjo. Its volume is very low with light grade stings so i moved up to medium and it helped a little. Sound Rating 5 Setup I was not impressed with the set up. This is fault of the banjo not the store i believe. The tailpiece is CHEAP and the bridge always slips and slides the strings down to where the lowest string is almost off the fretboard. I cant seem to get through a song without having to tune it. Setup Rating 2 Appearance It looks decent, not bad not good. Sortove cheap looking but then again it is. Appearance Rating 5 Reliability Well the "hook ons" where the strap go are already falling off after a couple months, and this is sad cuase this banjo is lightweight. After a month the middle string was buzzing. Constantly goes out of tune. Feels cheap. Reliability Rating 1 Customer Service Never dealt with Bean Blossom. Customer Service not rated Components cheap cheap cheap. Components Rating 1 Overall Comments This instrument has been a nightmare. I gave this banjo a chance and i was disopointed. I shouldve gotten a Gold Tone Cripple Creek. NEVER buy this instrument or and from the brand. I do not know if it was just my banjo but i cant believe this many things can go wrong just by chance. This thing is cheap. BUYERS BEWARE. I know i sound harsh but i wore marks into the fretboard within a month and i didnt play enough to do that. The only thing i can say good about it is it has a decent sound. Overall Rating 1
