Wow, what a great instrument did arrive this afternoon here in best shape!!! It is just amazing what great sound this Banjola has, despite a comparably small body. It’s quite a difference to hear a Banjola on CD or internet compared with having it in your own hands, hear and feel the great sound and expression. Absolutely super! Knowing that the wood of the top comes from mountain trees under which I in that region have so often played guitar and sung in my young years adds additional excitement. You are completely right: the additional G-string adds enormously to the sound of the instrument, also and especially when the upper strings are sounded, such a great, full sound with a solid foundation! It’s well worth to do the additional steps in order to get used to a 6-string instrument. The Banjola is also an awesome master piece in terms of how it looks and how well and carefully it is elaborated. My sincere compliments – it’s simply a master piece in any respect!
