A Serious Review (not that i don't like the last one)
By Spyral
It's not a bad instrument for the price. Good sound, nice resonance, comfortable, sturdy feel. When it came out of the box one of the screws was out of the resonator and the others need to be tightened down, but nothing was broken or missing. I wish it had came with a change of strings, since I'm not sure how long this set has been on it, but I guess that's why it only costs a hundred-fiddy. I'm a beginner on this instrument (played electric bass for 6 years) and I'm definately pleased with the cost and the actual product.

Oscar Schmidt banjo
By E. Easters
I am a first time learner of the banjo so don't know much about them, butI am pleased with the quality. Didn't get the case at the time of purchase so it was shipped in a cardboard box which got a whole punched init at time of shipping. The banjo had a dent on the back but not bad enough to make me want to go to the trouble of returning it. I recommendthat you request better packing or order the case at the same time.

Great for the price
By B. Harrah
Banjo arrived in new condition - nothing broken, I just loosened the strings, set the bridge, tuned it up and started plunking around on it. It's only the second banjo I've had, but it sounds great, rings well and frets well.I'm surprised to get this good of an instrument for such a low price. Granted - I've never played one of the gold standard banjo's. For learning or just plunking around, this one is great.
