Morgan Monroe Cameron submitted 8/21/2008 Submitter Grey Dog (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased http://www.banjoshop.com/ Year Purchased 2008 Price Paid 599 ($US) Sound Nice and mellow, but can still hold a bluegrass edge. I bought this as a lighter, openback travel banjo. The whyte laydie has a nice pluncky (yes, pluncky) sound to it. Sound Rating 8 Setup Needed some minor tweaks, but it was the dead of summer so things could have been loose from the heat/humidity. Out-of-the-box it is more of a clawhammer banjo, but a quick bridge swap gave it enough of a personality change to be scruggsy. Setup Rating 8 Appearance Very nice walnut look and feel. The engraved metal has a cheaper look/feel to it, but given the price that makes sense. Appearance Rating 8 Reliability Solid enough to be considered a travel banjo in my book, so it must be ready for some abuse and bounces. Reliability Rating 9 Customer Service http://www.banjoshop.com/ is absolutely excellent http://www.morganmonroe.com/ I have no dealt with directly Customer Service 10 Components Overall just very solid and reliable Components Rating 9 Overall Comments Yes. I would recommend more for a clawhammer player, but it is definitely sufficient for a bluegrasser as well. Overall Rating 9
