Looks like the banjo is very well made from high quality materials. It sounds as good as it looks. The banjo was used and the hardware to mount the armrest was missing. Musicians friend has promised to help with this and they have been very nice to work with.

Comments about Mitchell MBJ200 Deluxe 5-String Banjo:
My wife gave me gift certificate for Musicians Friend for Christmas. Used a 20% discount and bought it for a good price. Banjo has planetary tuners, good playability, and a good sound.
Comments about Mitchell MBJ200 Deluxe 5-String Banjo:
If your just starting out I have learned on a guitar. Spend a few extra bucks over the cheep ones and get something with a little better quality. you will not regret it. This one would be great for that.
I am not a experiance banjo player. I am a guitar guy. I had a friend that had one and wanted to learn to play it and wanted me to give some lessons So I am learning to play it. (The online videos are a great place to start) I got the Mitchell. I am very satisfied with the quality. It is a lot heavier than the one my buddy has. Holds a tune well. after the strings stretch a little.
If you never had one like me there are some great videos on how to setup your banjo on youtube. Quality on mine was great. Very good finish and tone.
This was a great buy.
Comments about Mitchell MBJ200 Deluxe 5-String Banjo:
Took a bit of setup, but sounds great, plays great, looks great and makes me want to jam!
I wish it would have come with railroad spikes! Resonator is gorgeous.
Never played another banjo, but it seems like the quality is very high.
Great buy for the money.
Comments about Mitchell MBJ200 Deluxe 5-String Banjo:
In trying out banjos, we've tried everything from low-end to high. This Mitchell looks spectacular with it's flawless cherry-burst style mahogany body and neck, and unique inlays. The resonator on this is incredible. There's no deadness to this thing, and it projects well with a very warm tone. The hardware seems more solid than any of the banjos we've checked in this price range. A case would be nice, but as it's an over-seas made instrument, it's expected to not have one included. Better to skimp on the case than the hardware. My guess is there aren't more of these sold due to the brand name. In foreign made instruments, brand names don't define the quality of an instrument. These are comparable to banjos costing 3x as much
Comments about Mitchell MBJ200 Deluxe 5-String Banjo:
This is a great banjo for this, or any price range. In a blind taste test, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and the top-end banjos. Obviously one would wish it would come with a case, but nothing that comes from over-seas does (ie Epiphone, Squier, etc). Great bang for your buck, and if you spend less on a new banjo from another builder, you won't get that excellent resonator.
The materials are great, the tuners seem tight and fluid, and the resonator is fantastic. The inlays are a plus; not just the same tired old diamond inlays. All in all the features rival some of the higher priced banjos on the market.
Everything on this banjo is solid. The hardware seems better than some of the Fender or Epiphone banjos we looked at. The finish is a flawless dark cherry-burst, abd really stands out when compared to the tired old browns. There's no deadness in sound with this thing, it projects as well as a Deering, and has a great tone, not too bright thanks to the mahogany. I really can't tell the difference in the aluminum on this vs the steel on the pricier ones, and the overall feeling on material is always subjective anyway.
As far as the value goes, I would put this banjo up against any being sold far three times the price. The only way to pay less, is to get one without the resonator. My guess is people bypass these because they don't recognize the name. Let's face it, Chinese instruments are all of similar build, and the difference is in the hardware, and not what's inlayed on the headstock.
