This Celtic 6-String Banjo has the standard 25-1/2" scale of a guitar, with the traditional resonator of a banjo. While its design is geared towards modern Celtic jams, the attack produced by the transparent head will whisk you back to pickin' on grandpa's porch.For the experimentalists, use a standard EADGBE tuning for a uniquely accented guitar tone, or open tuning for punctuated resonant drones.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Do Some Work and it's ok
It arrived beautifully packed. The banjo/guitar itself is very light, much more like a guitar than a banjo and that's a good thing. I play both and this is easier to carry around than any banjo I own. When you get it, the bridge is in a packet and there are no instructions on how to place it. That is a real problem for 95% of the people who will buy this. I have experience with banjos and it still took me two hours to get it right. I first loosened the strings and worked the bridge under them. After finding the sweet spot (the harmonics on the 5th, 7th, and 12th frets are the way to know you've set the bridge correctly), I took it all apart again: the strings were just dead and clunky.
I put on extra light Martin guitar strings and went through the whole process again. Remember: there is nothing in the package to tell you how to do this. It is unplayable as it arrives -- you have to set it up. I even checked YouTube to see if Luna posted a video how-to and... nothing...

Amazing Pro Banjo for the money...or any money.
I intend to make a video review very soon, but I wanted to put in a good word for this extraordinary instrument.
One would be hard pressed to find a better sounding, better looking 6 string professional grade banjo at this, or any, price. I have played many, many banjos, and while the Luna is lighter (as mentioned by another reviewer), it has something to do with the target market. Luna's mission is to make quality instruments affordable for everyone. These banjos (and most of their folk instruments) sell out faster than they can make them, because people *love* the sound, the feel, the action, and yes...the way they look on stage, and on the wall. They are art in multiple formats.
Luna is a reputable company to work with. They are quick to respond, and take their customer service very seriously.
So buying a Luna instrument through Amazon is a doubly great experience. If you don't like the instrument, you can just return it. If there is any type of...
Luna 6 string banjo
Not a great instrument - but fair all things considered.
It requires extra effort to make it playable. And for a non-banjo player, who doesn't necessarily understand the build differences between this instrument and a guitar - setting up is challenging.
Once again for what it is its okay.
