Really a Beginner Instrument

I purchased this for my (now ex) wife for a christmas gift. It is a decent little banjo, and a bit smaller and lightweight than better$$ Banjos. Remember, for the price you need to get a pro to do a set up if you really want to learn on this banjo. I later bought the Rogue B-30 which is a little heavier and a little better quality if set up right. But both will work for a beginner. Here's the thing - the extras in this kit are crap. Save your money and get the Rogue instead. You'll be better off in the long run. Needless to say, I'm glad she took the Washburn and left me the Rogue.

That uses this banjo and it is in great condition. This is a fine banjo for beginners and a good banjo to travel with.

well this is a great banjo once you do some work to it don't use the strings that come with it...they suck but, get some new ones and everything will be good i took off the back to it and i think it sounds and plays better you might have to tighten some nuts and bolts down but, all and all this is a great banjo... you just got to learn about them before you give up....

I am not incredibly experienced with the banjo, hence the need for a starter kit, but even I can tell the B8 is a lousy banjo. It produces a very hummy-sort of sound, not the sublime plucky-twang sound a banjo should make. I find, as a beginner, it is discouraging to play an instrument whose sound detracts from the music.

Good Beginner

The night i got this i could't put it down. It sounds good and stays in tune for a good amount of time. It is nice and light, unlike those medal bodies. I would say that you should buy another book to learn from because the one they give you is to small. And I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to attach the strap. But overall it is agood beginner banjo.
