A standard five-string open back banjo with a soft, padded backpack case.
Constructed and strung in reverse for some left-handed players.** We also recommend purchasing a strap, clip-on tuner, some fingerpicks, and a capo to make sure you’re fully equipped for class. We have fifth-string capos and bridge mutes available, too!
**Going southpaw is not necessarily the answer for every lefty looking to get into banjo. Have a conversation with your teacher or come talk to us. If you’ve never learned a string instrument before, you’ll soon discover that the jobs your two hands do are so different that your dominant hand may not matter.
