Well made and beautiful, but with some fatal flaws. First, it weighs at least 10 pounds more than my Calton. Second, it does not balance properly at the handle -- it tips forward. Third, it apparently does not firmly hold the heaviest part of the banjo (the neck, rim, tone ring, etc.). My new Chief resonator was broken when I opened the case the first time -- broken at the neck end, suggesting that there was enough movement at the heel of the neck to drive the weight of the banjo through the resonator. I think this type of damage could also happen with a Calton, but I prefer the lighter weight and better balance of the Calton case. |
