Excellent product , well packaged and delivered within the time stated . As a complete beginner I wasn't sure of the type of banjo I wanted but having read all the info about banjos on the website I decided to purchase a Viking tenor banjo which was all set up and still in tune on delivery . Also bought Enda Scahills " Learn Irish Banjo book 1" which is great alongside his "Soundslice online learning tool "

Deep detail on foundational techniques and tips to help avoid bad habits. Only 3 weeks in and I'm a much more relaxed player and having a lot more fun. Any banjo player at any level will find some value in this.

Good music & variety of songs but I would have liked more detail about how the pick should move across the strings since it is supposed to be an absolute beginners book.
