Where Purchased: Direct from Pisgah Banjo Co.
Year Purchased: 2023
Price Paid: 2100 ($US)
Sound is well balanced across all strings and up the neck. Intonation is perfect. With a maple rim and rolled brass tone ring it has a brighter sound than my Pisgah Possum, but it is not shrill. It has just the sound I was hoping for.
Sound Rating: 10
Perfect.
Setup Rating: 10
The appearance is stunning! I ordered a persimmon fretboard without fret markers. Pisgah provided beautiful spalted persimmon. Dark stained maple rim and neck are a almost the same color as the splating on the fretboard. Also spalted persimmon on paddle shaped the headstock.
Appearance Rating: 10
It Pisgah, so it is very well made with excellent attention to detail.
Reliability Rating: 10
Communication with Pisgah was excellent. It took about a year from the time I ordered until I received the banjo. In that time I made a few changes to the order, which were all accommodated with out a problem.

All quality components.
Components Rating: 10
This is my new go-to banjo. I like the longer neck for the same reason Pete Seeger did: I have a bass-baritone voice and enjoy singing and playing. I have occasionally tuned this down to open D (dADF#A) without any buzzing.
