    Clear and beautiful and instructional banjo

    I am a Big Mary Z Cox fan and was lucky enough to meet her right about the time she was coming out with this album, so I heard her explain it to a group of banjoists at the Florida State Fiddling Convention right after this was made. She this was a meditation on the C tunings, especially the open C tuning, or the double C tuning and was a lot of music she first put together sitting on her back porch playing the banjo. Wish I was her neighbor! Everything sounds deceptively easy, deceptively clear, deceptively delightful. You think you can see the tab for these tunes or the notes go by on the page she is so clear and precise. Even playing fast dance music or in competitions, Mary seems to know that music is about sounding good, sounding clear, sounding pleasant, and saying something rather than proving how fast your fingers and your mind can be going or how tricky your fingerings, your tunings, or your right hand work can be.

    Amazing for a beginner banjo.

    I borrowed this thing from a friend for about 2 months and fell deeply in love with it. This banjo has a deep, dark tone, and being a medium priced beginner's banjo it sounds AMAZINGGGGG if you know what you're doing. I'd experimented with a vintage head on it and threw on some nylgut banjo strings and man this thing can chime better than anything I've heard. If you've got the right set of strings it CAN do a tinny sound for a banjo if you play close to the saddle, but other than that it's dark as can be. I'll upload a video eventually of just a few chords. 5/5 Mÿnspÿnnÿ Bogas - See all my reviews This review is from: Epiphone MB-100 Banjo, Vintage Satin Brown, Chrome Hardware (Electronics) I borrowed this thing from a friend for about 2 months and fell deeply in love with it.

    Beautiful, inexpensive banjo.

    I play a Deering Goodtime Special, and it's nice, But I wanted an open back that I could take on the road and on camping trips and such. I was planning on buying another Deering. I happened to stop in at my local music shop and I saw this banjo sitting there. I picked it up and started plinking away, and liked the way it felt. I liked the way it sounded. I liked the way it responded. I liked the way it looked. I really just liked it a lot in general.There was no price tag, so I assumed it would be around $400 or $500. I asked the guy, "just out of curiousity", how much it was.When he said $210 plus tax, I said "there must be some sort of mistake".He went on the computer system to ensure he quoted me the right price, and indeed he had.I said thanks, and started to walk out, then turned back, picked it up, plucked away for a minute and said "Dammit, I've gotta buy this".I haven't put it down much since I bought it.

    Low price, high quality

    Most instruments that come at such a low price for beginners look, feel and sound just as cheap as their price tag. The MB-100 however sounded AMAZING right out of the box (after the required bridge setup and tuning). I'm new to the banjo and I'm sure a seasoned banjo player would be able to find things they don't like, but I sure can't. It is a little on the quiet side, so if you're looking to really project, you may want to pick up a model with a resonator (the back) but for what I'm doing, this is perfect! Hope you all enjoy yours as much as I do! 5/5 N.J. - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

    Incomplete in the extreme

    DISAPPOINTING to say the least. The section on guitars was quite good but, I'm not interested in guitars. I'm a bassist and needed information on electric basses. The section on Fender basses was good but there was no information at all on the majority of currently and previously available brands. The section on Warwick basses had NOTHING, with regard to values, on any models they produce. As Warwick is a very popular brand and has been around for over ten years, I found it surprising that nothing about them was included apart from telling you it was started by the son of the man responsible for bringing us Framus basses and that they also make amps. If I were looking for information on manufacturers histories there are many other references available that contain more than a single paragraph. The section on amplifiers was as disappointing as the bass section. Go to a bookstore and peruse a volume of this "guide" for the information you seek (if it's there) and save yourself... 2/5 F.
