Overview
Not a right-handed model, this banjo is built for left-handed players. It has five strings, a mahogany top and back over a laminated body, a Remo drum head and a geared fifth string tuner.
The reason to look at it is the left-handed layout in a beginner kit, which is hard to find, with a bag and manual in the package. The limitation is unclear build detail, because the title says both open back and resonator.
Who it's for
Left-handed learners starting on a full-size five string will find the kit practical. Right-handed players, and buyers who need exact build details, should look at another listing.
Pros and cons
- Remo drum head
- Geared fifth string tuner
- Mahogany top and back
- Bag and manual in the kit
- Title names both open back and resonator
- Kit items not itemized beyond a bag
- Connector entry unexplained on an acoustic banjo
Performance notes
The drum head converts string vibration into volume, and the mahogany top and back and laminated body shape the resonance. The geared fifth string tuner lets the short string be set precisely. Nickel plated strings carry the pitch.
