Very nice for its price, great first instrument!

This is my first tenor banjo and I was pleasantly surprised by it - the action is very low, it’s easy to play and sounds pleasant for the money. Unfortunately it doesn’t have much of the characteristic banjo “twang” — but you can’t really expect everything at this ridiculously affordable price point, can you?

It’s tuned to CGDA by default and plays quite well, but I mostly play Irish trad so retuned it to GDAE. Unfortunately as many others have remarked, the tuners don’t really hold tuning well at this much lower tension — and the banjo is also less in tune with itself (eg some o stave intervals are off while others are OK). I also had to tighten the banjo head to get the proper sound back (but that’s actually easy, just search on YouTube for a tutorial).

Overall, it’s was perfect for my first year of banjo playing - but now I’m ready for an upgrade.

Nice for Irish tunes
Imre T. 30.04.2021
Finally I have received this simple, but pretty instrument, and according to some previous reviews ordered the Harley Benton Pro planetary tuners. Now, equipped with these tuners and a set of Deering Irish Tenor Banjo strings sounds very well. Only the nut and the bridge needed some little adjustment. Now I am inspired strongly learning as many Irish dannce tunes as possible. I have already three Harley Benton guitars, all they are wery well made, pretty and exceptionally playable. I recommend it for everyone.

Good Banjo!
ZENMANDO 04.06.2022
I don't know if I was just lucky, but this banjo is solid and flawless. I am now a fan of metal rim banjo's! There was some set up required (neck relief) and I put decent strings on for GDAE tuning which meant increasing size of lower string slots on the nut (careful if you do this, the nut is relatively soft plastic to file) Anyway solid instrument and good enough to take her out to a gig tomorrow
