Super cool banjo! I’ve only had it for about a month but it has a great sound and is enjoyable to play. The neck was a little twisted on arrival (I imagine from shipping) but I was able to twist it back. Very clear, very loud, and I like that it has places to attach a strap.

The Banjo is great! It arrived quickly and is perfect to get started with the journey. It is my first instrument and I enjoy it a lot.

I was very pleased with my McNeela banjo. It plays beautifully the length of the fretboard and the tone is strident and lovely. It holds its tuning very well and is generally a joy to play.

My first banjo I've never been disappointed in the quality of instruments from McNeela, and I'm happy to share that this banjo is no exception. I'm surprised how fast I'm 'picking' it up, considering I've never played a string instrument before, and the sound is wonderful. The look of the banjo is nicer than I thought a beginner instrument would be, so I won't feel out of place when I play it at the nomad gathering in January in Arizona. My McNeela 5-string banjo sounds like the instructor's banjo on the bluegrass banjo YouTube series I'm working through, which is helping me learn faster, but I paid much less! This banjo is a lot of fun.
