Is this a good banjo for a beginner like me? I don't want a cheap one that sounds lousy.

Yes, it's a great banjo to start out on. I have one and I play it everyday.

For the money this is the best for playabillity and tone quality. They arn't flashy or shiny but the banjo is solid rock maple and travels well. If you like a resonator style banjo they make tis banjo in a resonator style for around a hundred more.Hope this helps.

Yes, it sounds fine to me. It costs a little more than the real low end ones like rogue etc but is well worth the difference. They are very popular and should be easy to sell or trade if you decide to move up later.

I honestly don't know. I'm not as familiar with varying banjo body types like I am with guitars! If I had a banjo shop near by I'd take it there and try it out but unfortunately that is not an option for me! What I can tell you is that it's been a good purchase for me. It was relatively cheap and it's been really sturdy.

I'm kind of beginner, and I got some recommendation from my friends. This guitar is little expensive for beginners. But, if you think you will play the guitar next several years, it is really good guitar for you.

I would not recommend this one for that level of playing. My son is using it as a beginner in his middle school. I think it's a fair instrument for beginner level learning. I'm not a musician though. The piece is very light and easily damaged.

Hi Charles,The banjo does come in set up, all except for the bridge and string tuning. Enjoy! God bless

You'll find whole discussion threads on banjo groups as to whether or not more brackets makes for more even tension on the banjo head, but the general consensus is that it really doesn't make that much difference so long as you have a certain minimal number (somewhere around 18) and they're properly placed. In fact, professional bluegrass banjos (such as the Gibson Mastertone) typically have 24 brackets, whereas cheaper entry-level aluminum-pot banjos are more likely to have 30.What matters to the sound is how evenly the brackets are tightened, not how many of them there are.

Yes, It has a very good sound for an inexpensive violin. Especially if you change to some better strings. But ya, if you can find a good used one I would go that route.

Yes, this is a wonderful instrument to begin learning to play on. The sound can be a bit "bright" in my opinion and it does not have a built in tuner. Well worth the money for the instrument!

I took the banjo to the local music store, bought the bridge and had them install it. I understand that it's relatively simple after you have been playing awhile, but I am completely new at this. Placement of the bridge affects tone and tuning. It only cost $12.00 total and well worth it.

Yeah, but I wouldn't recommend this pile of crap. I'd rather you get a good beginner bass, like an ESP B-15 5-string... This one sucks ass.

I am pretty sure but not positive. I am using it on a banjo and it sounds great!

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

I haven't had any problems with this violin. Had it for a month now. It is way better than I thought it would be for the price. So yes it's a quality instrument for a beginner.

I was in the same boat. This is the first guitar I have owned PERSONALLY and I love it. Had it for 6 months or so now. Now that I know a bit more about guitars it is still one of the best sounding and solid guitars I've played. I would recommend finding one and trying it out as everyone likes different sounds. But 300 dollars for a very solid guitar isn't bad at all. I'd just go for it, it'll serve you well.

hello! well i do recommend this for beginners in synthezizers, this one is of the simple ones`, but attention! this is not a toy, is a very powerfull machine, with wich you can do a lot of things. so if you are looking for a simple keyboard this is not for you. instead if you want to experiment with sounds and start to understand synthtezizers, this is a good start. this instrument will fit very well beginners but also experts who know how to train this little monster!

All I can add to what's been said is that the tone on my Banjo is fine, given the cost. There were other far more expensive pick ups. I would have higher expectations for them. For the price, this pick up peformed pretty good.
