I wanted to tell you how happy I am with my banjo. First thing, it smells and looks good. Secondly, and more importantly, it sounds great. Thirdly, it is a real pedigree item in terms of construction.

I have owned quite a number of banjos, trying to find a sound and setup that I am happy with. Something not too shrill like a lot of current stuff, good volume, with a nice sustain but not too much, something that sounds at home with old-time but that copes with more contemporary tunes. This banjo does just that. The best thing is that the setup on it lets me play gentle and also lets me really work hard and give that banjo a darn good frailing when I need to. The sound works so well on slow and fast melodies that I have gone back to a number of tunes that I first learnt to play and they just come out so well.

The construction is excellent, and the care and attention starts in the quality of the individual components. I am really pleased I opted for the skin head as it gives me the “plunk” that I wanted. The neck profile really works for me too. Ultimately, it is the really flexible instrument that I hoped it would be and it is just a pleasure to pick it up, sit down and play it.
