Fantastic entry level banjo
Had a small issue with one string very quickly and satisfactory resolved
Plus quick delivery
Entry level di qualità
Desideravo iniziare a conoscere il banjo a cinque corde e questo strumento, a mio avviso, va benissimo. Un po’ macchinoso da settare ma, alla fin fine, fa parte del divertimento.
Buen instrumento
Relacion calidad precio buena. El instrumento suena muy bien. Es robusto y fabricado con materiales de buena calidad. Se afina facilmente (hay que tener en cuenta que hasta que se asientan las cuerdas hay que reafinar, como cualquier instrumento)
Tras afinarlo y ponerlo a punto, diversion asegurada
Muy contento con la compra
Perfect Beginner banjo
Cheapest I could find but it sounds great ! Seems perfectly sound and reliable . Great action. Plays well. Nice pegs. I did file the bridge a wee bit coz the high g string kept slipping off but that’s normal anyway.. I got a spare bridge anyhow… I like it alot. I love my new banjo . Great deal. Thanks…
Delighted!
Had a hiccough initially with order but reordered as did not find anything which I liked more. This was a birthday present for my son who is a musician. Very well made. Beautiful design. Quality is very very vgood for the money – he is thrilled.
Value for money
More than happy with the product. Build quality was fine for the price. Shame about the strings but there cheap enough to replace, which I did straight away. For a novice like myself outstanding value for money. Take a tip and order a strap to, it helps a lot.
Great Quality, very well made.
Great quality banjo.
It is my first one & it seems to be very well made.
Extremely pleased with it.
I just need to learn to play it now !!!
Great Quality and Value for Money
Was a little worried after reading some of the reviews that it would arrive damaged but it came next day, well packaged and in perfect condition. Really happy with my purchase and it seems to be great quality, especially for the price!
his is Steve Norton-if anyone has a doubts about a warehouse deal this banjo should dispel them.advertised as pre-used,not a marl on it well packaged next day delivery with PRIME,my first banjo and a great one to start off with I’m 69 so never too late,promised the wife I wouldn’t buy another guitar…15 and counting……
A beginner who struck lucky with this!
I didn’t know how to buy a good banjo, all I knew is I wanted 5 strings, and I just hoped that what I bought had good tuning pegs. This is fantastic, and I love it! I am so happy when it’s banjo practice time! Many thanks seller!
Unsealed package.
This banjo was delivered yesterday, we left it for a few hour to check it. The box is fine externally but had been opened. The lid wasn’t taped down anywhere, but inside looked ok. The banjo is for a Christmas present so if there is a problem I’m sure the recipient will let us know.
Ottimo prodotto!!! 5 stelle più che meritate.
il mio primo banjo e non ho paragoni ma direi che da molte soddisfazioni, il suono mi buono, comodo da suonare, sembra ben fatto il tutto ad un prezzo veramente basso. Attenzione al setup, per svariati motivi il banjo non arriva pronto all’uso ma bisogna posizionare il ponte (nulla di complicato ma da fare, basta seguire un tutorial su YouTube e il gioco fatto). Nel mio caso stato anche necessario tendere la pelle (la chiave in dotazione) regolare la curvatura del manico e (anche per questo la chiave in dotazione) e regolare l’inclinazione del manico rispetto al corpo (la chiave per questa operazione non in dotazione). Sono lavori pi semplici di quanto sembri quindi niente paura. Considerando il prezzo e la qualit dello strumento merita 5 stelle (di pi non se ne possono dare). Il servizio di Amazon come sempre impeccabile!
Buena relación calidad precio
Barato. Suena bien. Hay que montar las cuerdas pero no es difcil.
Artículo correcto.
Muy bonito, en perfecto estado. El nico inconveniente que estara bien unas instrucciones y cmo montar el puente. Pero por lo general genial.
Suena muy bie
Lleg muy bien envuelto, suena muy bien y viene con funda
BANJO ROCKET
Magnfico banjo para principiantes y con una esttica muy buena.
Keep on picking
Arrived early, well packaged. Looks fantastic, sounds brilliant, easy to tune with cheap digital tuner. Only one small issue, 5th string is not geared (friction) and can be knocked out of tune if not careful. All in all good value for money
un instrumento muy bonito
Ha mi hijo le ha encantado, Un instrumento muy bonito, suena muy bien y viene incluida una funda que tambin tiene su precio. Perfecto para un regalo.
well pleased got this for my dads birthday ..hasn’t had a banjo in 50 years .the banjo looks like something you’d easy pay a grand for ..I’m going to get one my self….
Quality that belies the low price tag
Absolutely over the moon with this. Having read earlier feed back and being prepared to fit the bridge in place, I set about fixing it only overtighten the shorter G-string by accident causing it to snap. No bodies fault but my own.
I then amazed myself by changing the snapped string….admittedly a bit fiddly but pleased as punch that I learned how to do that too.
All in all very impressed with the look, the quality and the sound. Great value for money
Muy contento, producto mejor de lo que me esperaba
Muy buen producto y en perfecto estado. Ideal para aprender a tocar el banjo y tiene buen sonido!
Ottimo
Lo strumento suona bene, arrivato protetto dall’imballaggio, la custodia imbottita.
Perfetto per chi vuole cominciare o per arricchire la collezione di qualche chitarrisra curioso.
Rapporto qualit prezzo davvero eccellente.
El instrumento esta muy bien, pero una parte viene desmontada y sin instrucciones de montaje, no fue complicado montarla. Fue para hacer un regalo.
Merece la pena !!!!
Excelente embalaje. Muy bien protegido. Precioso banjo color madera y negro.
bie
lleg en tiempo sealado, muy bien envalado y protegido. Es muy bonito. Ha gustado, como pega pondra solamente que debera incluir algun folleto con las indicaciones, garanta y dems.. Viene limpio!
Very nice looking banjo. Well packaged and speedy delivery just needed the bridge inserting and there us a YouTube video for that.
The fifth string is hard to tune since the peg is direct rather than a screw adjusting type.
Das Banjo kam sehr pnktlich an. Amazon sei dank.
Die Tasche macht einen sehr guten Eindruck . Ich kann in der Seitentasche gut meine Picks sowie die Grifftabelle unterbringen.
Mann sollte bevor man es aufbaut alle Saiten entspannen, ansonsten bekommt man Probleme den Steg einzusetzen. Dazu gibt wirklich zahlreiche Videos und Seiten im Internet. Das Banjo selbst hat einen super Klang. Da man offen spielt, erzielt man nach den ersten Stimmen schon ein tolles Ergebnis. Ich persnlich finde den Klang schon fasst zu volumins.
Great for beginners
Great for beginners. Needed to look up youtube / relook at product video to add the bridge. It would be good if a little instruction sheet was added to the package.
AT LAST! an instrument which turn up without damage. I changed the order for this one and it has arrived in good shape. I’d previously ordered one of these in light brown (no real preference for colour) and it arrived badly damaged. It was replaced with another which was also damaged, and it was obvious from the packaging this was a previous return. No internal wrapping at all and adjuster keys missing.
Decided to persevere and ordered again. This one is spot on. I’m a complete novice so hopefully I can now fulfil my life’s ambition to learn how to play the banjo, my mid sixties!
Now just have to repackage the first two and send then back. What a waste of musical instruments, and all because of poor packaging.
Perhaps I was just unlucky, but feel cross no one seemed to care enough to spend a few more coppers on the packaging and wasted two good banjo’s.
Recommend this purchase
As a beginner i am Very pleased with my purchase..would recommend you have it tuned by a pro as its different tuning to a guitar. All in all the banjo is of sound quality as is the bag it comes with.
Excellent quality starter banjo, good clear tone and very high quality for the price. Highly recommend. Packaged well, fast delivery can’t fault it.
Cautiously delighted
Having read the negative review I went over this with a fine tooth comb. I have always played guitars before and am used to fenders so I am not easy to satisfy. The banjo was in perfect condition and tuned easily once I had positionned the bridge. Nice sound and quite loud with resonator. I am very pleased with this. Bearing in mind they come from China it isnt surprising that the odd one has problems given the distance travelled.
Buono
stata una tragedita montare il ponte ed accordarlo per me che ero neofita, ma apparte questo uno strumento veramente eccellente.
This Banjo is amazing for the price
This Banjo is amazing for the price. Even comes with a good quality bag. Can find no fault with it. Set up ok with little rework. All works Ok. Just need to make my fingers move a little faster!
Non male
Si tratta di un banjo dal costo molto basso per cui per imparare non affatto male. Lo consiglio come primo acquisto.
got one of these for xmas, and was very pleasantly surprised. Everything is machined and finished well, and the tone is lovely – crisp, loud and melodic, a joy to play.
Having formerly played the guitar, and currently mucking around with a cheap ukelele, I wanted this as another ‘fun’ instrument, similar to the uke (apologies uke players !) and wasn’t expecting too much of it, but I was very pleasantly surprised to learn what a quality instrument it is, and am now determined to learn it to a reasonable standard.
As others have said in reviews for similar banjos, mine arrived with the bridge flat and needing to be set up correctly – this actually proved to be easy with the help of one of the many tuner apps nowadays – stand the bridge up and put the strings in the right notches, then tune the 4th string to D and then play the 12th fret, if that’s higher than D one octave up, move the bridge a little more towards the tailpiece – repeat until you have a good D with the string both open and fretted at 12th fret. Then try the other strings, might need to rotate the bridge minutely to get them all right. Is easier to do than it sounds and I was up and plunking away before xmas dinnertime.
Ottimo
Banjo di ottima fattura, prezzo qualit centrati, dopo la taratura inizile di ponte corde e pelle ora suona alla grande.
Suono (e studio) chitarra da diversi anni, come amante del bluegrass ho provato la “follia” di iniziare anche il banjo: ho acquistato questo vedendo le altre recensioni positive e ne sono rimasto assolutamente soddisfatto: ottima fattura e il rapporto qualit-prezzo mi pare davvero ottimo. Non ne ho mai provati altri ma credo che come primo banjo sia davvero consigliatissimo.
Fantastico!
il mio primo banjo, ma non posso essere che soddisfatto. Finiture perfette, arrivato senza neanche un graffio, legno lucido e componenti in metallo immacolate. Economico ma allo stesso tempo di buona fattura, a mio avviso un acquisto perfetto per chi vuole cominciare. Spedizione come sempre da record.
Consigliato
Volevo da tempo avere un banjo e nello sceglierlo ho cercato di seguire il trend delle valutazioni, cercando uno strumento per principianti ma di buona fattura con un buon rapporto qualit-prezzo.
Risultato: ottimo strumento, Spedizione veloce e imballo perfetto. Soddisfattissimo
