Sound Rating 8 Setup the banjo was made very nice. its had some what looked like glue or something on the fret board maybe from the inlays but i cant get it off. Setup Rating 9 Appearance most bueatiful banjo i have ever held. mother of peral inlays all the way from top to bottom. gold hardware is done nicely. Appearance Rating 9 Reliability it feels solid. very heavy but i think it will last a long long time Reliability Rating 10 Customer Service i havent dealt weith the company Customer Service not rated Components the armrest is kinda cheap just standard. i put a wooden one on it and its great Components Rating not rated Overall Comments beautiful banjo. you are definatley paying more for the look than the sound. ive heard banjos a couple hundred cheaper sound better but they also have frosted heads. i think the black head might be holding my sound back Overall Rating 9
