This banjo to me is perfect. Tone is loud,crisp,. Playability is so easy. Quality and craftsmanship is Superb. The finish on the neck and back is so smooth and slippery makes it so easy to play. It does seem a little heavy, but, it doesn’t even affect it at all. Very well made instrument. I totally understand and agree on this banjo placing number 2 in top five banjo’s for 2025. Totally satisfied!! zZounds is the way to go! Play while you pay is NUMBER 1!!! zZounds you are number one to provide ways for anyone to obtain such a quality instrument, along with EVERYTHING else!
