The neck profile is comfortable in the hand, and the instrument produces the bright, articulate response players expect from a good resonator banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recently cleaned and inspected the instrument here at the shop. It plays nicely with comfortable action up the neck and has a lively, responsive sound that works equally well for practice, recording, or stage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent overall for its age.
