There hasn't been a review of a Kyle Smith banjo in awhile, so I thought I would add one. I have had my walnut Legend now for probably five years and it has grown to be my favorite... while I am not a professional player, I have played banjo for 50 years and have owned probably 2 or 3 (kidding, more like 20 or 30). I just sold the walnut top tension GIbson RB-12 that I thought would be the keeper of the flock, but the Smith has the tone. I still own a Stelling Virginian and an Ome to round out the two extreme ends of the tonal scale, but if you want a banjo that sounds like honey bees singing it is so sweet, yet sharp, you owe it to yourself to get a banjo from Kyle. It will be the one I take to the home with me! (ok, when the time comes!). Hank
