Donner Banjo Full Size 5 String Tenor Banjolele Guitar with Banjo Kit Tuner Gig Bag, Stringed Musical Instruments for Adult Beginner，DBJ-200

¡Fantastico! El paquete llegó una semana antes y debo decirlo: buen instrumento. No se mucho sobre instrumentos pero puedo decir que la calidad es bastante buena, lo afine y el sonido es una maravilla. Pronto comenzaré a practicar.

I was fortunate to be offered free banjo lessons and enjoyed learning but desperately wanted one of my own to practice and play on. All the banjos I looked at were either ‘antiques’ and not in great shape or were super expensive. I found this one and loved the look and the mahogany AND the price. It’s 5 string, but if you want 4 string it’s easy to mute the 5th string. The 5th string makes it super versatile. You can tune it to guitar or violin(mandolin) for a more classic banjo sound and play around with the extra string. Showing my banjo to my teacher and getting his approval in its sound was the final ‘woohoo’! And I’m pleased with my purchase and the quality of my instrument. It comes with everything, including a very well padded soft case and a tuner with battery. Picks, a strap, all the basics including spare strings! I feel so lucky to have found this instrument, it’s got a great sound and it’s very easy to play. It holds its tuning and tunes easily. It looks beautiful and had a lot of work put into making it

Pretty nice banjo! It looks fantastic, the hardware and setup seem pretty good. It comes without the bridge installed so you need to either take to a professional for installation, or if confident you can find tutorials online (what I did). After setting up the bridge, I set to tuning it. You’ll need to use the included tool to tighten up the tuning machines, as it wouldn’t stay in tune at first. The short 5th string is particularly susceptible to going out of tune. I’m a novice on banjo, so it could just be me. All in all, a good instrument - I’ll have to wait and see if it stays in tune better over time. Most instruments require time for the strings to stretch a bit and to adjust to climate of where you’re using it. It’s a fun way to get into a new genre. I can’t comment if it’s good for experts, but as an entry-level banjo it’s a great option. Comes with a bunch of accessories, including a very nice case and strap. I would have liked some finger picks instead of the pack of flat picks, but I plan to pick up on my own. Give it a try if you need a good banjo at an affordable cost.

Nice banjo, sounds good and is pleasing to look at. Only problem so far is that the strap part broke off very easily and now I have no way of connecting a strap until I get it fixed. With minimal gentle use

Very well made and a lot of fun to play. I am new to playing banjo but have played guitar for years so really just comparing this banjo to my background with that. I can say the banjo is well made and appears to have a good setup and tone. One thing that it do not include was instructions for setting up the bridge as that came attached separately for packing reasons I assume. The bridge should be mounted the same distance as the measurement from the nut to the 12th fret. This should set the intonation fairly reasonably. The banjo came with extra strings, picks, a really decent soft case, cloth for cleaning and a tuner. Overall a very good package. The resonator also comes off if you prefer a different tone and or to reduce the sound. This comes off with 4 easy to remove thumb screws. The setup on it was quite good, however the bridge it came with was subpar and I upgraded to a name brand bridge that seemed to improve the playability and tone. It was roughly an $11 upgrade. I would recommend this banjo to anyone starting out or that (like me) had an interest in trying out the banjo.
