Published on 06/07/10 at 12:22handle typical tenor banjo
UTILIZATION
the instrument is very light compared to a "real banjo": it does not have a true tone ring. except that, once the handle via the truss rod adjusted, action adjusted with the adjustable truss rod in the barrel and the skin stretched properly, you get an instrument quite playable enough for beginners.
SOUNDS
despite the low price: 200 €, we have a sound which can of course not be compared to that of a more sophisticated, but still a sound of banjo (without body or sustain)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 months.
granted to the Irish GDAE I worked my first scales and chords on it and it will be time for me to move to a higher model.
I do not regret this purchase and I think the price / quality ratio is really interesting: it is a real instrument, with possibilities of adjustment and more, delivered in hard case in good order.
