HBJ-25 : Solid Banjo

Bought this 4 years ago, sturdy instrument with quality material.

For a first timer instrument this is more than perfect, you get the same experience while learn with no hardware related issues. Good resonance and sustain. Allows you to get into the several styles of Banjo picking that exist.

Yes there are better sounding, smoother and naturally expensive Banjos out there that will behave in a superior matter, but this one is my ol'reliable and will absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in starting fresh into a very nice community and instrument.

p.s. - The head (the white circle) of the banjo is solid white material, which means you can paint it and make it more personal for you. Just use a marker, heavy paints will affect the sound.
