The banjo sounds nice and bright after a couple of changes
Sound Rating: 8
The banjo was set up by Kyle Smith with a scorpion bridge and a new price tail piece and HO spikes at 7,8,9,10. I tighten the head to get more pop and a sound that I like out of it.
Setup Rating: 9
It is a nice plain looking banjo which I like. I am not into flashy. nice dot inlays on finger board. nice curly maple with tortoise shell binding. no flaws at all.
