beautiful tone, clear, nice sustain, give or take - about half way
between old time and bluegrass (a touch on the bluegrass side)
Sound Rating: 10
set up is perfect (thanks elderly)
elderly even added railroad spikes -- no charge
Setup Rating: 10
goregeous banjo; nice maple grain, flawless lacquered finish,
nice trim on pot & neck, beautiful inlay work
but then aren't all banjos rather good looking.
Appearance Rating: 10
only owned for 3 months; but it is stoutly built (a little on the heavy side for an open back)
can't imagine anything short of a 3 day drunk and a head on with a pick up truck xxxxxing it out
finish is good looking and deep in appearance
Reliability Rating: 10
no contact with wildwood other than visiting their web site
