It's actually very nice and it sounds terrific. It arrived within four days, which was awesome, and I've already put a couple of hours on it. For a beginner, or someone who just wants to give the banjo a try before investing a lot of money, this is a steal. Review: banjo it self was good. everything else was mediocre.(EDIT ): the company has resolved the issue. - so far the banjo itself was very beautiful and seems to play nice. the first issue to come up was the 4th banjo string. it seemed to be overtight and when i tried to tune it, it snapped, there was no warning whatsoever. i did ended up using the extra 4 string that came with and did my best to restring it but since im new to this i dont think i did the best job. I will buying higher quality string from somewhere else the next issue is the banjo picks, they are simply too large and difficult to use. the thumb pick is probably the worst. it is solid steel and thick for it purposes and too large. i had to use pliers to bend it into a usable form. I will have to purchase newer picks from a different source. the third issue is the banjo sling as it is small and uncomfortable to wear and the rough fabric scratches the neck. very cheap and will need to be replaced. the fourth issue is the bag is cheap and sort of small for the banjo , the banjo will go in it simply too much a tight fit. i will keep since there no other bags that seemed reasonably priced. the banjo tuner is pretty nice that is a given, although the battery being included would've been nice. overall i wouldn't buy again and i would wish to return for my money but unfortunately this the only option i have to economically afford a banjo as i live in a rural area. EDIT: I was recently in contact with the company, and they have been really receptive and apologetic. for the poor quality of the first banjo. they have graciously sent me a replacement banjo and parts and by inspecting the strings it seems to be perfect order and not one was damaged nor snapped when i tried to tune. i must note that the new banjo sounds even better that the original one! the banjo picks are still awkward to use, however this new pair are more comfortable and more usable than the previous. i will keep them as trusty back up. the carrying bag seems better and the banjo can actually fit. although the banjo sling is still probably the worst part. its simply too rough on the neck but it will do the jobs as intended. all-in-all the folks from ADM really showed some high-quality service which is something i really value. I wouldn't mind doing more shopping with them in the future. ## Features - ♫【HIGH-QUALITY REMO DRUM HEAD】Selected banjo panel will produce a sweet tone, ensuring clarity of sound.

Fingers will hurt a little until calluses are built up. I recommend google 'wild wood flower', find one with the chords that list 'G' as the first chord. This banjo is 'G' so that chord requires no finger presses, only need to learn two other chords. Limit practice to 20 minutes or less to start. Most folks will be playing that song well after four or five days practice. **Q: Does it come with a manual for beginners?** A: Unfortunately it doesn't come with a manual, but getting a DVD or paper manual is easy and depending on your preference you can find them on google for free or watch youtube videos while picking. **Q: Learn to play bango** A: This is an excellent instrument to learn to play banjo on. Its modestly priced and good quality for it. I took mine on deployment with me and picked from time to time. Hope that helps. **Q: Does it come ready to play?** A: Just tune it and go ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, nice-sounding banjo! *by A***R on February 16, 2026* Because it's inexpensive, I was worried about the quality of the banjo, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Everything you need to start is included however, there are a 2 main issues discovered in the first couple of weeks of frustration and feeling I’ll never learn this. Keep in mind I have never played a stringed instrument. 1. STRINGS: The strings are at least of “medium” gauge which make it very hard to “fret” (push down) without really hurting your fingers as well as making it more difficult (frustrating) to learn as an absolute beginner. Its also near impossible to “slide” as a beginner with un-calloused fingertips. SOLUTION: In my research I believe that a “light” string is best for beginners, and it seems that a lot of pros use “light” also. You can buy a set of “light” strings ($6.00 for the full set) and easily enough re-string the banjo yourself…see YouTube. 2. PICKS: Terrible picks. Too pointy, poor design. Did NOT realize how important the picks would be, namely the thumb pick. Almost all banjo players use a plastic THUMB pick. Index and middle finger pick is to long and pointy too. 3. STRAP LOOPS: One of the strap loops kept bending and falling off until finally it totally came unscrewed and fell into the resonator of the banjo. It’s only 4 simple Phillips screws to remove the resonator, but still. After gong to a music store a banjo player just recommended clipping to the head anchors and that has worked very well. I will eventually buy a new strap since this one is very generic and probably not as comfortable as a quality strap would be. Overall, I recommend this for an absolute beginner. Fixing these 2 issues dramatically reduced my frustration and the feeling it was me when it was more so the strings and picks limiting my ability to learn better. Visit and purchase at your local music store as much as possible. They’ll have picks and strings too. They can also steer you to a local instructor if you so desire. I’m going into 3 weeks now and getting pretty good at the basics!
