    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

    Sorry about the pic attachment. I tried to edit it and post just the pictures but it wouldn’t let me do that.

    The USPS was a bit late, like 10 days, but it was certainly worth it. I wanted to make this my own instrument and did a few things to distinguish it like taking a torch to it! The build was straightforward and fun to do. I used linseed oil on the neck and dowel and some dark walnut on the pot. Some fine steel wool between coats and have a great finish.
    I was really surprised by the tone of the banjo. Right now tuned down to a double G.

    Thanks Brian for making a great kit.
