Could u tell me anything about my Banjo please I haven’t a clue

@Paddyodee10788 Not quite sure what you mean in your question by "my banjo"! Is there something specific you would like to know about the Nite Hawk banjo I am selling !
I can tell you that the banjo is everything I've described in the ad and is a very playable instrument with a low action, with a tone that can be very warm or bright depending upon the way you play it! It has plenty of volume if you need it and, for a banjo of its long vintage is in great condition with pristine metalwork inside and outside!
I'm selling at the price I payed for it and have added a frosted bottom head as my preference!

It plays well in any setup, GDAE or CGDA with the appropriate strings.

Can't think of much more to add only to suggest that anyone with a serious interest would be pleasantly surprised by its tone, playability and condition!

Anything else just ask!

Thanks for enquiring

No problem!
Your banjo is a 5 string banjo.
Hard to tell the make of the banjo written on the peg head from the photos but I'm guessing it is a budget model made in the far east ... Remo is the brand name of the banjohead / skin..not the name of the banjo !
Your price is probably what you'd be expecting alright ... hard to tell!
Hope that is of some help !
All the best!
