BJ-65Pro 6 String Banjo : Fantastic quality for the price.

For the price, it should have six stars for features.

- The double coordinator rods are a lot more stable for the neck and allow a precise adjustment of the neck angle (action height)

- The tailpiece is of the type that allow the strings to go up straight to the bridge.

- Tone ring brings the expected weight but I does bring something to the sound and volume.

- fairly good Remo skin.

- radiused fretboard (my guess around 15") decent fretwork and no sharp fret ends.

- Fret inlays are nicely done and are not too gaudy looking, having a nice pale color which I find less agravating than the cheap looking flashy fake "abalone" of some cheap brand.

- Tuners OK

- Weight: around 5 kilos. If you think that's heavy, you are not familiar with banjos. This is actually a decent weight for a tonering double coordinator banjo.

- Sound is where it is obviously not a 2,500€ banjo. Acceptable (usable) nonetheless.

- No 200€ banjos is going to be set up for optimal playability and sound out of the box. You have to set it up. But be careful and don't break it!

Highly recommended!
