Drumhead: Polyester Film
Drumhead size: 11 inch
Back: Closed
Armrest: Yes

Semi-Open Tuning
White jade tuning pegs & 15:1 ratio, the Kmise tuning machines are a semi-open design. The tuners have chrome-plated back covers so the tuners will not easily rust or collect dust, making banjo tuning more smooth and accurate, but the covers are removable to suit any aesthetic.
Phosphor Bronze Strings
The KMISE 5 Strings Banjo uses the most popular light loop end phosphor bronze strings,for an ideal balance of tone and projection,giving the banjo a warm,bright, and well-balanced acoustic tone.
High Quality Drumhead
The Kmise banjo uses a high-quality drumhead which gives the banjo a crisp bright tone with good depth and distinct note separation, not too much sustain and overtones. The player can also tap the drumhead panel when plucking the string to accent the song.
Two-Way Truss Rod
This beautiful banjo has a truss rod to maintain the neck adjustment which allows every player to keep the long neck straight by countering the pull of the strings and natural tendencies in the wood.The Kmise 5 string banjo balances beautiful appearance, comfortable design, and amazing sound and is an ideal gift for beginners, professionals, and all music lovers.
The Fifth Tuner
Quality tuning pegs with a geared 5th string tuner: The function of the fifth string is to play a continuous note (drone note) in a certain key, mostly playing the open string, which make all the strings form an open chord. While open G tuning (G-D-G-B-D) is common, many tuning conventions are possible including double C (G-C-G-C-D), D tuning (F#, D, F#, A, D), and more.
Comes with Armrest & Accessories
Features 24 brackets, an ebony cap bridge & Polyester Film drumhead, as well as a thoughtful armrest design. The tuner (battery included) is easy to use, helping even beginners tune-up and start playing quickly. The included strap is strong, woven nylon with quality, faux leather ends and chrome plated clips that attach to the brackets securely.

Just opened the box and started playing, but so far so good. It appears to be staying in tune well and has a fine tone.

It has e great tone and holds the tuning very well. I had a little difficulty setting up the floating bridge but the included guide helped a lot. There are several videos out there that help with setting up the instrument as well.

OK, I did not NEED another ukulele, most especially not a banjo ukulele. But I admit to suffering from what a friend calls "ukulele acquisition syndrome". When I read the professional reviews for this banjolele, I really wanted it. Then I found the great price on Amazon, and I was hooked.I have been playing my Kmise almost daily in the weeks since it arrived. It is as easy to play as my best ukes, and it sounds great on my folk repertoire, including, especially, the sea shanties that my uke club loves. (I must admit that I return to my regular ukes for romantic songs and many show tunes.)

I purchased this banjo as ‘used-like new,’ and it was described as including a tuner, picks, strap, spare springs, and other accessories. Only the banjo, tuner, and case arrived in the package—extremely annoying! I followed amazon’s instructions in case of problems and emailed the selling company Kmise’s customer service asking for help, but they never replied.The banjo itself is of reasonably good quality and it would be hard for me to replace it in time for my needs, so I have decided not to return it. Since I didn’t receive all the promised items, though, the value of this purchase was significantly less than expected. Worst of all, the company is non-responsive about problems! I wish I could leave a good review since the banjo itself is a solid value for a beginner instrument, but because of the issues with fulfillment and customer service, I can’t recommend purchasing this banjo or any other instruments from this company.

I oedered the banjolele kit. The kit description is:The kit description in Amazon says: “Package including: 1 x 26" Banjolele 1 x Gig Bag 1 x Strap 1 x String 3 x Picks 1 x Tuner 1 x Piezo Pickup”.Missing parts are the strap, picks, and piezo pickup. Also, no battery for the tuner. The quality of the instrument is very good in general, but there are a couple of not ideal issues. The ends of the frets are sharp and need light filing. The strings are not holding tune very well so far. Perhaps the strings will stabilize better after use and a few retunes?I emailed Kmise customer Service regarding the missing parts and will update based on their response.Overall, this is a high value banjolele and kit…. If all the parts show up.Update: i sent two emails to Kmise customer support and had a chat session with Amazon support. Zero response from Kmise. I very much like the banjolele, but if there is a problem with the product or your order, Kmise support seems non existent. So 5 starts for the product and zero stars for support.Update #2: Kmise finally reponded after Amazon intervention. Kmise reports the missing items have shipped to me.

Great instrument. Good weight and construction, and holds tune even fresh out the box. The kit comes with extra strings, picks, a tuner, and a fun little strap, and case. I took the back off to get a slightly different sound twangier sound than by default.I've always loved the bluegrass and old timey sound of traditional Irish music too, and I'm not getting any younger, so I've been working on learning ukulele and 5 string banjo. Definitely recommend for beginners looking for a different sound too.I'm happy to say that this is the first instrument I can now play a full song on without tabs or references - People are Strange by the Doors.

Head needed to ne tightened. I put wrapped classical guitar strings on it an octave lower than typical uke. Had to modify the tail piece to accomodate the strings, but that's o.k. Great instrument, really unbelievable for the price. I really like the neck, just a narrower than regular uke.

It’s much heavier than a Ukelele and I like the added weight. Has a wonderful resonance. And I like that it has a strap! Comes with all you need to start playing.

I’m not a uke or banjo player. I play guitar in Irish sessions and someone brought one to the session. It was loud enough to hear over the rest and it looked cool. My instrument came in good condition without a case or gig bag. I didn’t get the cool package with all that. I tuned up and started playing. It’s got a consistent tone with a unique voice. I don’t think there’s much usable neck beyond the third or fourth fret. Not much sound anyway but it seems most uke players are always using first position chords. That being said, I’m satisfied with the instrument but sorry I missed buying the package with the case, tuner and whatever else they included.
