All of these reviews sound great, but I wonder if bad reviews are ever written? I certainly appreciate the time that WYS and Fortunato put in doing these. My fingers would no linger be in existance if I had posted all this info. Thank you, thank you!

I must disagree with Mr. Miller in one of the abouve posts. The banjo is not an American instrument. It came to us via slaves from West Africa. Lacking the items to build them the traditional ways, they even improvised most of the improvements of the modern banjo.
