"Great Banjo"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I don't like this banjo being classified as a beginners banjo. I researched this product extensively before I purchased it. It projects wonderfully, which was one of my concerns as it did not feature a resonator. The set up was top notch and I see myself using this for years to come. (Here's the disclaimer, I have been a musician for 20 years, but I am new to the banjo). With that said, I play guitar and drums. Banjo seemed like the perfect bridge between the two. Get a great product made in the US of A!!!

Musical Background:

20 Years of experience. Session Drummer for Virtual Adrenaline studios. semi-pro

Musical Style:

I get paid to play the drums, so my style is whatever the artist wants. In terms of the banjo, I am a beginner and want to lear
