Goodtime swearing time!

I'm kidding! The whole experience has been great and going good. Ordering was super simple. Even for an older guy like me. Shipping was quick and received it very good condition. The banjo is beautiful! I have wanted to learn to play for many years now and it's finally try to learn now. I do believe I'll need some lessons at some point but trying to learn just a few very basic things online. But I love trying something new and I'll get it eventually. As I said the banjo is beautiful and the beginner package was a plus for me. Thank you all !

Beautiful Banjo

The banjo is beautiful and has a wonderful sound. I’m having a lot of fun learning a new instrument with different techniques than the other string instruments I play.
