I absolutely love the Pisgah banjo. As a clawahmmer player, the banjo provided the sound that I was looking for. In my opinion the banjo had a perfect setup as it arrived. The bridge placement was even marked for future reference. The banjo is very loud, but still retains the bass end that I like in an instrument, while not neglecting a crisp upper range.
Sound Rating: 9
As I mentioned, the setup was already wonderful when the banjo arrived. The action is slightly high as I prefer it, but not to the extent that it discords up the neck. The only thing that I have done to the banjo is occasionally stuff a rag in the back.
Setup Rating: 10
The banjo was exactly what I was looking for as it relates to appearance. I had no inlay put on my banjo. The clean look and attention to detail speak for themselves.
Appearance Rating: 10
I expect this banjo to last me for life, and fully expect someone else to enjoy it after I'm dead- but not before then😀!
Reliability Rating: 10
The only dealings I've had with the company was when I ordered the banjo. I had met Patrick at Clifftop before I ordered and he was just as helpful over the phone as he is in person. My phone calls were quickly answered-Superb customer service.
Customer Service: 10
The entire banjo is impressive, but the tuners are definitely the standout component. They are quick and easy to tune.

I am extremely happy to own a Pisgah banjo. I would recommend them to anyone. I couldn't have imagined a better banjo.
