Product Description

If you're lookingto purchase a beginner banjo, Get ready for a harsh reality: It's hard to find a good one. Virtually every beginner level banjo has had no set-up, and none of the regular retailers know what to do with them. This means that They are difficult - or impossible to play. The problem is compounded by the lack of experience of the student, not knowing whether the difficulty is theirs or the instrument. Too many times it is actually the instrument.
I'm Dave Bloxham of Beyond Guitars, I got into the musical instruments business as a banjo teacher needing to find good, inexpensive banjos for my own students. Over the years I have settled on the Rover brand as having all the right ingredients needed at the right price for a really good entry level banjo. However even this banjo needed some TLC to make it a real player.
Shown here is my finished product, and a full starter kit. Because of the extensive set-up work I've done to this banjo it may be the best entry level banjo you can find below $300.00.
If you buy a beginner banjo under $300.00 from anyone else chances are it will be in a "barely playable" state, if it plays at all. Here's what I do to the "diamond in the rough" banjo you see here, to make it what it is now. Here is the seven step process I use to whip this banjo into shape for you:
1 Fret level job. This is the most labor intensive, and the most important step in making it playable. The fret levels must be correct on any stringed instrument. It allows for low action and easy playing, without string "buzz". It truly makes an amazing playing slick banjo that is light years away from the rough state in which I get them.
2. Head tension. This is for proper tone and correct bridge height. 3. Neck angle adjustment. This is done after the first two stages to really hone in on a great playing instrument. 4. Bridge placement. The proper location of the bridge is required to keep it in tune as you play.5. Tuner tension. This keeps the fifth string tuned and allows the knob to stay snug. 6. Fifth string tuner re-install. I use a luthier's adhesive to keep the fifth string tuner in the neck properly. 7. Play the banjo. I make sure all my work has paid off, and it needs to play right.
In addition to the Rover RB-25 banjo includes a tough nylon gig bag made just for it. Plus I am including the following essential items:
1. Fifth string spikes for using a capo. I have installed them in the fretboard at positions 7,9 and 10. This makes playing in the keys of G, A, B and C simple.2. Kyser banjo capo. This is a great capo for the banjo, a $20.00 value.
3. banjo strap. This is not only convenient for the times you want to stand up, but it helps a lot when you are sitting. The banjo is so round it likes to rotate in your lap and this helps enormously. 4. two National finger picks, adjustable, needed to learn picking style banjo. 5. two different sized thumb picks. One will work for you.6. An electronic tuner. This will help you keep the banjo tuned correctly.7. My favorite beginner banjo book, "You can teach yourself banjo" is included.
