The MWN-B1 WIDE NECK banjo is identical to the MN-B1 just with a wider nut cut at the factory to spread the strings out and make it easier to play. This is for pickers who feel that a wider string spacing would really help them fret more cleanly and progress faster.

The traditional 3 ply Maple rim, tone ring Banjo, with 1 3/8" nut.

When you go to your local store, you might find that the variety of banjos is limited, that they are poorly set up or out of tune

What is not commonly known is that banjo's require adjusting , this is called the banjo set-up procedure and is not usually done from large, impersonal music stores, & from staff that are not familiar with banjo issues, man-hours are not invested into setting up the banjo; they just ship it out. Artiste banjos come set-up

Set-up is of extreme importance that ensures correct string spacing for easy fingering, string height to avoid fret buzz & easy fingering, bridge positioning for intonation, head tension for optimum tone / volume, & performance, & all metal parts checked for no rattles. No set-up is the foremost reason why people find it difficult to play & listen to a poorly performing banjo
