In this video, I unbox and give my first impressions of the Kmise 5-string resonator banjo. First impressions are positive! It has excellent build quality with a good fit and finish with no observable finish flaws. I will do a full review in the near future.
It is available on Amazon:

Thank you for this video. This is my first banjo and when it arrived, I had really NO IDEA how to do ANYTHING with it!

I recently purchased same banjo and didn’t even realize a clear plastic guide was included to align the bridge. I also didn’t realize until after I threw one tiny plastic screw in the garbage that two of those came with the instrument, though I don't know what they are for; and it seems maybe you too didn’t see the tiny critters either. I do wish these companies would give a bit of instruction on what’s included. As a total novice, I’m not even sure if I’ve connected the strap where it belongs. As for the instrument itself, it does sound great.

I'm glad you like it! I didn't notice any loose plastic screws in mine. Thanks for watching and commenting!

can you make a video about how to make the strap i can not for the life of me get the strap to work

@jasonreheis 3 года назад

Nice banjo. I've used some Kmise Tuning pegs and pickups before. They seem to make pretty good stuff

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

I agree. I have reviewed several of their instruments and have been generally impressed.

@HillChris1234 Год назад

n00b question... why don't they just mark the bridge position on the drum head?

@stevesstrings5243 Год назад

Good question! Mostly because sometimes you may have to adjust it forward or backward to get the "Sweet spot" for intonation. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Just purchased this Kmise banjo. I noted that the method of holding the tailpiece is an L shaped bracket which is attached to the central rod nut. The two nuts hit against each other and make tightening the tail very difficult. Marked down for this.

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

Thanks for your comment! I agree! It is definitely a nuisance to adjust. I noted the same issue on my review of the Aklot open-backed banjo.

Oh jeez. You've got two 5-string banjos now. You could play dueling banjos with yourself. Ha ha. This looks like a pretty nice banjo overall.

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

It seems pretty nice! I actually also have an old "fixer upper" banjo! It will need some work to get playable. It's on my to-do list. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z8SX0B1pt3k.html

Two words I never know how to pronounce 1. Kmise. I usually just pronounce mise like eyes or ice 2. Sapele. I've always just said suh-pel

@stevesstrings5243 9 месяцев назад

I was in the same boat. Apparently, the company says Kimse is pronounced kuh-mees'. Sapele I have heard several different pronunciations but suh pee lee, or suh pay lee seem to be the most common. Thanks for watching and commenting.

No u skipped over the bridge insert setup?

@stevesstrings5243 День назад

It's pretty easy. If you don't have the template, just measure the distance from the nut to the 12th fret. Take that measurement at put the bridge that distance from the 12th fret to bridge on the sound head. You can then slide it a little either way to get the some note when plucking the open string and then when fretting it at the 12th fret. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@stevesstrings5243 2 года назад

It’s a decent banjo for the money. Also check out the Donner banjo. I especially like the Aklot open back banjo! I have done reviews of those as well. Check them out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Question is 4 string I look the same or no

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

Last year I did an unboxing of a 4-string tenor banjo. They are different instruments.

@sparkydiaz397 3 года назад

Ok thank you

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

You very welcome!

@sparkydiaz397 3 года назад

Question the string look the same or not

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

I’m not sure I understand your question. 4-string tenor banjos use different strings than 5-string banjos. Tenor banjos are tuned CGDA. 5-string banjos are typically tuned gDGBD.

@sparkydiaz397 3 года назад

Thank you

@stevesstrings5243 3 года назад

De nada! Thanks for asking

@edwardlemke286 2 года назад

Thanks for tease. You were going over the loom and feel of the banjo, but then you don’t show how you put it on. That would have been helpful. This video is not helpful at all.

@stevesstrings5243 2 года назад

Hi Edward. I'm not sure what you mean. If you are asking how to set up the bridge, you simply use the guide to know where to set it up. Alternatively, measure from the nut to the 12th fret, then set the bridge the same distance on the drumhead measuring from the 12th fret. Here is a video where I show how to set up a floating bridge. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8kGn2dMb86k.html If you need more information, let me know.
