Frequently Asked Questions
It's a noticeable step down in complexity and sustain; the Rolled brass is bright but lacks the 'zing' of a KTG, but still provides a respectable tone for the price.
The 31.2mm nut width is relatively wide for a tenor banjo, which is a plus for larger hands, but some might find it a bit cramped initially.
The included bag is adequate, but a hardshell case would offer significantly better protection against bumps and temperature changes.
