COMPARISON http://www.goldtone.com/resources/comparison.pdf

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
