HBJ-25 : Lovely banjo

Really satisfied. Sounds nice, stays in tune perfectly, and the bowl is removable for those who would prefer a more old-time vibe. Nothing to complain about. Durability is perfect and has survived daily practice for almost five years. There were a couple of small dings when he arrived, but the did not affect playability in the slightest, and I soon added some new dents to the mix through the odd accident (which I might add that the banjo survived admirably). Finally, the instrument definitely looks cheap as regards the paint work... for the price though, and how nice it is to play, this quality soon grows on you. All in all I would definitely recommend this banjo to a beginner, or a more advanced player that wants a instrument that doesn’t require being precious with.
