I'm just getting into banjo ukes and this is my second. I use it as a rhythum instrument in OT. Wonderful sound, loud and deep because of the 10 in. pot.
Sound Rating: 9
I changed the head from Renaisance to Fiberskin to deaden the sound somewhat. Put on standard Aquilla nylgut strings without the wound third. Set up changes were very easy. The head was changable without removing the neck.
Setup Rating: 9
Beautiful. Hardware is unplated brass. The wood is Bolivian Rosewood. It has a block rim of the same rosewood. Fit and finish was impecable. No flaws.
