I’ve been playing this banjo for a few weeks and I’m really happy with it. The open-back design is perfect for clawhammer style, and the instrument feels solid and well-made. The Remo head and ebony bridge give it a warm, punchy tone, and the tuning stability is great thanks to the Ortega machine heads.
If you’re looking for a beginner-friendly 5-string banjo with great value and traditional feel, this is a fantastic choice.
