Review: Great - This a nice banjo Bought it for my 13 yo son and he loves it. Sounds great
Review: Extremely satisfied customer - So the first mini banjo i received was defective; one of the frets sat too low causing a buzzing when i pressed down on D. I took it to a music shop because i couldn't figure out what was wrong (I'm a self taught ukulele player, total newbie to the banjo). Music shop said I'd have to drop it off to fix, $65; half of what i paid. I was really bummed and almost dropped it off to get fixed except one of the reviewers on YouTube suggested i contact the seller because they were great. Great doesn't begin to describe them. They were phenomenal, super responsive, apologetic and asked me to give them another chance. It was on backorder so they thoughtfully gifted me a music stand for all the inconvenience. I received the replacement mini banjo yesterday and it's prefect. It tuned easily, frets were all level, strings sat 1/8" off of bottom frets as my research had suggested. The only thing i had to do was move the bridge about half an inch and i was ready to go. It was also packaged with extra care, included a manual booklet and they kindly surprised me by adding an arm rest on the head. It's the perfect beginner and travel instrument. I'll be starting lessons in a couple weeks and can't wait to do so. I highly recommend this company and their product. I'm sure it's not as perfect as the more expensive ones but it's definitely worth a lot more than the $120 i paid for the bundle (case, strap, tuner, cables to plug into speaker, tools to tighten head, extra set of strings and manual). This is a very happy customer!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good beginners banjo---a little complex to set up.
*by P***S on May 10, 2025*

i am a pure beginning banjo player, so had no idea what to get. after looking at the reviews, this banjo seemed like a good risk for a beginner to take without spending a fortune. i am happy with the banjo but there are things buyers need to know...for example, you will probably need a banjo stand and a music stand to hold the music..these are not expensive but necessary. there is some concern that the neck is a little narrow for fat fingers, but so far i can manage. the one main surprise was that the setup is quite challenging for a beginner----doable,but more steps than i anticipated. for example, was not clear how the digital tuner worked. the bridge has to be installed correctly. with the strings in the proper place. installing the strap was ok, but one of the attachment points to the banjo fell off (which is why only four stars). but i bought a wider strap that did not need that attachment point, so solvable. i would buy again.
