This banjo was originally purchased at Guitar Center for $200. The armrest was removed (because hubby needed to be able to play with the opposite hand) and we could not find the screw to reattach it (these can probably be found for a few dollars at any music supply store). Included are finger picks, extra strings, and a self teaching book and DVD. This banjo has mostly just stayed in a closet since it was purchased. Hubby thought it would be a fun instrument to learn but just doesn't have the time. Price is firm...no haggling please.
