Where Purchased: Huber Banjos
Year Purchased: 2014
Price Paid: 3250 ($US)
This banjo has a very full and rich sound up and down the neck. Great for bluegrass music
Sound Rating: 10
Everything was set up perfectly. The head has to be tightened after receiving due to it being a new head. Huber tightens the head, but until the head settles, it has to be tightened periodically.
Setup Rating: 10
It has a beautiful 1941 style mother-of-pearl inlay with mahogany neck and resonator. No flaws noted. Huber had my name engraved into the truss rod cover which turned out fantastic.
Appearance Rating: 10
The hardware is gold plated which looks to be very durable. And the finish is a satin nitro cellulous, which turned out to be prettier than I imagined it would be.
Reliability Rating: not rated
Joe at Huber Banjos was fantastic to work with. He answered any question I had and did not mind talking to me any time I called.

The tail piece and arm rest has very nice engraving, I believe it to be a Granada pattern.
