Sound
|
Very bright, as expected because of the maple neck and resonator and the ebony board. All the components enhance this sound. As I wrote to Scott Zimmerman, it outperforms several ESS banjos I've had. |

Customer Service

Scott and I had a couple of email exchanges about the banjo, its dimensions, its history, etc. I hadn't personally corresponded with him before, and found him to be friendly, a great wealth of information, and very responsive. |
