with araldite for 24 h00 is better!

SOUNDS

The sound is a sound of banjo with little body in the grave (but rather short neck and strings "white" of new electrical and gt ... with a little bronze strings played, it should be better).
I feel that there is a resonance of the body a little bowl and the treble could be better and with more sustain.
but ... it's a banjo ...
and it does it very well on planes alternate picking fast or rhythmic swing-new-orleans festive!
and the sound is powerful!

However, once I had a session with a 6-string banjo fender ... and it seemed to me that it was better.
Moreover, it's funny, I never imagined that there could be differences in sound quality evident between banjos!

That said, I'm not banjoist and perhaps in regulating the skin or by putting a damper qqpart is better.

OVERALL OPINION

That said, it is very funny and very qd usable.

and at that price (150 euros) it does it very well.
and I recently ... allow him time to grow old

but the mandolin that I have bought (which has needed repairs qq, for that matter, but the risk to have a cheap instrument) had attracted more immediately.

However, at this price, it's worth in additional instruments scenic or stud for a scratch.
and there, it has the look ... and sound!
still ...
