Pros & Cons
Pros
The included tuner is a nice little number, better than my snark. I am on my way to the grand ole opera soon.
Great quality for a beginner instrument. Comes with a resonator and a geared 5th string which is rare on low cost beginner banjo's.
Great value excellent craftmanship and attention to detail. Beautifully made. It has beautiful craftsmanship and sounds really nice. It is beautifully made.
For $200. A worthwhile purchase for its intended purpose. It is something my partner has wanted for a while. All around worth the purchase. Would definitely recommend to friends.
To bring out the brightness of the instrument, you need metal finger picks. Playability and resonance and sustain are concerned, this is a solid performer.
Highlights
Quality
This is a better quality than i ever expected, the instrument is heavy, its not a toy.
The construction is solid, the moveable bridge is seated perfectly beneath the strings, as the intonation is spot on.
String broke immediately, tuner supplied with no instructions, product support takes 24 hours.
The included strap is something they shouldn’t have even bothered with.
Price
Great value for the money we spent!
Don’t get me wrong…… for $200 this is a great beginner banjo.
If it doesn’t work out i’m only out $200.
For the price, i'll take my chances.
Shipping
The banjo arrived on time and in excellent condition.
This banjo arrived at my home well packaged and undamaged.
Bought it as a gift and was shipped quick.
First one was damaged by second one delivered promptly and in perfect condition.
Packaging/appearance
Product was packed very carefully and came with the tools needed to get started.
Simple setup instructions fot tuning and amazon was great on delivery, packaging was great no damage which was my biggest fear.
I thought the ad said it would come with one plastic thumb pic and two metal finger pics.
Packaged securely and as a result damage free.
Competitiveness
After researching different types and brands, pyle had just what i wanted at a good price.
This is my first banjo so i am unable to compare to any other.
I know there are more expensive banjos, and if i become really good, maybe i'll buy one.

I’ve paid close attention to his fairly new banjo and even though his is a leading brand name they are both made in china with brands stenciled on the headstock
