I ordered this banjo as a gift last year, 12/2011. It arrived quickly, but was missing the bridge and the tools to tune the thing. Amazon did give me a credit for a portion of the purchase price for the inconvinece, but I still had work to do. I contacted the company directly, they kindly sent the missing pieces free of charge. The banjo was "set up" for playing by an experienced banjo enthusiast only to find out that the 5th string peg would not hold, causing the 5 string to slack. I was dismayed that a $200 + banjo could not have been manufactured and sent out without multiple issues. I ended up sending the banjo to Dean to have the 5th string peg fixed, they could not have been nicer about helping me. Now there is a buzzing on the 3rd string, due to the construction of the banjo neck. This is a nice banjo overall, especially for a beginner. Too bad Dean does not have better quality control on the manufacturing line.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Dean BW3 Backwoods 3 5-String Banjo" are high quality item.
