Nice instrument at a great price!

This was the least expensive banjolele that I could find, and I am very happy with it. It's LOUD and 'plunky'; everything I hoped it would be. It may not be for an absolute beginner (for set-up issues, below), but if you're looking to add a banjo-uke to your uke collection, I can recommend this one highly. You'll want play it with a flat pick or finger picks to get the most out of it. It was delivered very quickly with Amazon Prime, and arrived undamaged with no issues. You have to install and position the bridge. To do it correctly, you can find instructions on YouTube. Once your bridge is in place, prepare for lots of tuning. The strings are knotted at the tailpiece to keep them from slipping through, and it won't stay in tune until those knots are tight. You have to tune up frequently to tighten the strings until the knots are tight. I had to do a lot of twisting just to get the strings to pitch, initially, as those knots tightened for the first time. Also, the strings need to stretch and "settle" and this took a few days or so. Once it's all settled, it stays in tune pretty well. The fret ends are nicely dressed; no sharp edges like you'd find on most inexpensive fretted instruments. The neck binding is a nice touch! The tuners are closed, sealed, and work well. The gig bag is quite serviceable. It won't protect the instrument from being knocked around too much, but is convenient for transport. The tuner works OK, but because the banjo has such short sustain, you'll have to pluck frequently for it to register the tone on the tuner. I haven't used the pickup, so I can't comment on it's sound. The pickup comes with peal-and-stick adhesive on one side, to attach it, and a binder-clip and velcro strap to keep it our of the way when playing. The pickup ends in a quarter-inch female jack for use with any stadard guitar cord. The only criticism I have is that I wish it came with a wrench to adjust the banjo head tension. I decided to loosen the head, just a bit, to bring the action down slightly. I already had a wrench that worked, but it would have been nice if one was included. If you're looking to add a banjo-lele to your collection, grab this one... totally worth the money!

Perfect beginner buy

Beautiful Instrument!

Decent instrument

This is for somebody who would like to have a more banjo sound playing ukulele music

Great value!

My daughter loves it! She had picked out one from somewhere else that did not have all of the items included in this bundle yet it cost almost exactly the same. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Excellent banjo and great quality!

Bought it for a Christmas present. Great quality with many bonus pieces. Was able to customize my purchase.

Great idea for a banjo

Great idea for a banjo, to make it like a ukulele. I am having fun with it trying to learn to play. This would really make a great gift idea. It comes with all the items you need except a speaker. I look forward to continued practice with this fun instrument. I hope to one day make a nice little video of me playing something exciting.

Happy porch music time!

Just as advertised, decent banjolele, strings, pick up and accessories included. Perfect for plinking around on the porch in the evenings!
