The tuners have chrome-plated back covers so the tuners will not easily rust or collect dust, making banjo tuning more smooth and accurate, but the covers are removable to suit any aesthetic. Phosphor Bronze Strings The KMISE 5 Strings Banjo uses the most popular light loop end phosphor bronze strings,for an ideal balance of tone and projection,giving the banjo a warm,bright, and well-balanced acoustic tone. High Quality Drumhead The Kmise banjo uses a high-quality drumhead which gives the banjo a crisp bright tone with good depth and distinct note separation, not too much sustain and overtones. The player can also tap the drumhead panel when plucking the string to accent the song. Two-Way Truss Rod This beautiful banjo has a truss rod to maintain the neck adjustment which allows every player to keep the long neck straight by countering the pull of the strings and natural tendencies in the wood.The Kmise 5 string banjo balances beautiful appearance, comfortable design, and amazing sound and is an ideal gift for beginners, professionals, and all music lovers. The Fifth Tuner Quality tuning pegs with a geared 5th string tuner: The function of the fifth string is to play a continuous note (drone note) in a certain key, mostly playing the open string, which make all the strings form an open chord. While open G tuning (G-D-G-B-D) is common, many tuning conventions are possible including double C (G-C-G-C-D), D tuning (F#, D, F#, A, D), and more. Comes with Armrest & Accessories Features 24 brackets, an ebony cap bridge & Polyester Film drumhead, as well as a thoughtful armrest design. The tuner (battery included) is easy to use, helping even beginners tune-up and start playing quickly. The included strap is strong, woven nylon with quality, faux leather ends and chrome plated clips that attach to the brackets securely.

Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo ReviewThis is a somewhat lengthy write-up.Overview:I very much like the sound of bluegrass, particularly the banjo. This is my first string instrument that I am learning.I was not comfortable spending $500 or even $300for a beginners/intermediate banjo, not knowing how committed I was going to be to learn.This Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo with the additional equipment at this “extremely affordable” price,was a great choice for me.I wanted a Resonator Banjo, which I had learned was the type of banjo typically used with 3-finger style bluegrass.The added benefit with this banjo is that you can remove the resonator if you wanted to play open back.Pros:For the price, I was extremely impressed with the quality and workmanship of this banjo.I mean, it’s beautiful. Does not appear Cheaply built at all,As a beginner, I have no idea what a “good” sounding banjo vs a “cheap” sounding banjo is.To me, this banjo once tuned sounds great.One nice additional component, was a clear plastic measured strip used to accurately place the bridge.Cons:- “kmise-us” Company communication was lacking. During my research for an affordable, quality beginners banjo, I had stumbled on this other Kmise Banjo https://www.amazon.com/Kmise-String-Closed-Strings-MI2953-KUS/dp/B081NBC5P9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=Q79X54PX90NF&keywords=Kmise+5+String&qid=1660913528&sprefix=kmise+5+string%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-3This Kmise Banjo is advertised as“Kmise, 5-String Banjo, Full Size (MI2953-KUS)” $169.99Going back and forth to the“Kmise 5 String Resonator Banjo” $157.99they look to be exactly the same, offering the same additional gear. (Tuner, Gear bag, Strap…..)I sent a message to the Company, it’s been two weeks, no response.Just wanted to know the difference between the two.The only difference I could see, other than the price, was when the product was released.07/09/2020 vs 11/17/2019Not a huge deal, but I was curious.- Boxing/PackagingWhen the box arrived (this is a big box), there was a single strip of packing tape running down the length of the Box (40” in length), and no packing tape across the width.The packing tape was not secure for the lower ½ of the box,which allowed my hand to reach in to the inside triangular box (where the banjo resides in the gear bag), and the banjo box was “lifted” on one edge.Possible a Quality Assurance measure, to insure the banjo was indeed in the triangular box, or…someone was nosy. Haha..I was there waiting inside when Amazon made the deliver.I immediately took out the banjo for a thorough inspection, and to insure all advertised accompanied gear was in the box.Everything was there, and no damage to the banjo.- Small defectUpon inspection, I did notice a very small “blemish” near the nut on the lower part of the headstock. But it was so small an inconsequential, and for the price I paid, I was not going to returnfor a replacement for something that I could not really notice.- Included Metal Hooks (for the Strap)I attached the two metal hooks to the provided Strap,and attached to the two “hookups” on the banjo, and after about 4 days, as I was standing, one of the hooks just broke.I had a firm handle on the banjo, so I did not drop it. I inspected the hook, and it basically snapped in half.I had an old leather carry bag and two brass hooks that I was no longer using, so I just fitted these two brass hooks on the strap, and I’m good to go.Summary:I highly recommend this banjo for the beginner.You cannot go wrong given the very low price and all the additional equipment that comes with it.Beautiful banjo and great sound.If I stay committed in learning, I may upgrade with a higher quality banjo, but much later in life.Before investing in a newer banjo, if I get to that point where I can actually play confidently, the upgrades I would perform on this banjo would be higher quality strings, a higher quality bridge, and new tuning pegs if needed.I replaced the included metal finger/thumb picks with some descent picks.As far as this banjo staying in tune, I have been playing every day/every other day for approx 20-30mineach session, and only had to re-tune once yesterday.(a 2 week period)So for me, it holds the tune well.I can see myself learning on this banjo easily for at least the next 5 years.Great purchase choice for me.
