The banjo itself is beautifully made. Its simple but still really nice. The added items are not cheap like you'd expect. The bag is well made, the tunner is simple and effective. The one thing that is a negative, the picks are small. It might just be my fingers but they are very tight and prolonged use they cut off circulation. All in all this is a great product, well worth the purchase. Note I have no idea why such a massive box was sent with it. Review: 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 - As Banjo panel can produce a sweet tone, ensures clarity sound, stable bridge setting when fast fingerpicking - Superior Material- Mahogany fingerboard and bridge, sturdy and stable, make the sound more layered; Sapele sides and back have beautiful wood grain, hard and not liable to warp or corrode, making the banjo durable. - Geared 5th Tuner - Important for both tuning and playability, brings you the classic tones and perfect for country, folk, bluegrass and even some modern rock.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***E on 26 March 2019* I am very happy with this product.

I think it really gives the blue grass vibes with good quality. Everything in the product description, but instead of a thumb pick I received a third index pick. I contacted them however and they were very responsive and fixed the issue right away.
