Fabulous tone. Microtones are evenly expressed. Rich, open sound that is perfect for solo playing. I've had it really low and just below G and just about everywhere in between and it sounds great.
Sound Rating: 10
Bought this used, but it was perfectly set up when I picked it up. I'm not sure how much it had been played before I got it, but it was in tune when I went over to the sellers home to see it.
Setup Rating: 9
Simple and perfect. This banjo looks handmade in a good way. Fit and finish are right on and the handmade bridge and floating tailpiece compliment it well.
Appearance Rating: 10
Not too much hardware on this bad boy. Violin friction pegs, tacks, skin head. I don't anticipate doing much more then playing the heck out of it.
