I am very happy with this product. I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and did not want to take time to learn banjo. This instrument sounds just like a 5 string banjo. It is truly amazing.Very happy and have not been able to put it down. close [-]

No learning curve at all! I own a SAGA III five string but there is definitely a learning curve to that one. close [-]
