In addition to the musicyo ad:
  • Heavy (12.5 lbs for the whole banjo, 8.5 lbs for the pot w/o resonator and neck);
  • Loud, good sounding banjo (I am not an expert, though);
  • 24 brackets;
  • 18 hole tone ring;
  • 2 coordinator rods;
  • Truss rod;
  • 1-piece flange;
  • Planetary tuners (ratio 8:1), geared 5th tuner;
  • Inlay of the 22nd fret (rectangular w/ MaestroTone written into it) and inlays of the peghead are Mother of Pearl, Hearts and Flowers inlays are plastic, but nice work;
  • Wood finish is very nice, chrome hardware is OK quality;
  • Laminated resonator, laminated rim (probably maple?);
  • Resonator and tailpiece are attached to the flange;
  • Well built, I think.
