For me the height is perfect and the sound of the banjo is amazing. I have a hard time putting it down. I tried a couple of others but this one was the best. I’ve had some expensive banjos but this is the most fun and best sounding I’ve had. I’m tuned to low double G and the fourth string is awesome. Some may not like the distressed look I have but I wanted to make it mine. I think together we made a pretty nice banjer. BTW I just turned 79
