    Description

    Here is a nice example of a beginner banjo. Rings like a banjo should. Instrument has hooks for a strap.
    Note: The font on the headstock is difficult to read. I have seen similar banjos listed online identified as a Lido, an Aido, a Jido. All because the font of the first letter is hard to read. I have reliable information that in fact it is pronounced Eeh-Duh (Japanese mens name). Many folks also list as a Japanese instrument (it does feel japanese), but this Banjo clearly indicates it is Korean.
    Note2: If you are considering an entry level banjo, I have some instructional materials (and some finger picks) I can include with the sale...just ask. (I will not add to weight with books and videos if you dont care)
