Oscar Schmidt Banjos FBA_OB5 KBBU Editorial Review

This banjo is a good instrument and comes with a gig bag that is not protective enough, so you may need to purchase a separate hardshell case. It has a nut width of 1 3/16 inch and is heavy with no resonator. Customers have generally had a positive experience with the banjo, with one reviewer saying it exceeded their expectations and another stating that it was their first banjo and they were totally satisfied with the sound and ease of playing.
