- 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'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
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!
Nice banjo. I've used some Kmise Tuning pegs and pickups before. They seem to make pretty good stuff
I agree. I have reviewed several of their instruments and have been generally impressed.
can you make a video about how to make the strap i can not for the life of me get the strap to work
n00b question... why don't they just mark the bridge position on the drum head?
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.
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.
I see your video of the paisen ukulele unboxing and i think its awesome
Cool, thanks!
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
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.
Steve - neat stuff - stopped on by - try to follow along - always enjoy the visit... be back soon
Thanks for stopping by!
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.
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. ua-cam.com/video/z8SX0B1pt3k/v-deo.html
Question is 4 string I look the same or no
Last year I did an unboxing of a 4-string tenor banjo. They are different instruments.
Ok thank you
You very welcome!
Question the string look the same or not
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.
Thank you
De nada! Thanks for asking
Iam going buy a banjo for a friend do u reamened this banjo thanks
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!
@@stevesstrings5243 thank you
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.
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. ua-cam.com/video/8kGn2dMb86k/v-deo.html If you need more information, let me know. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Kmise is better than Montaya
It's hard to say based on the Montaya I saw since it was not new. Thanks for watching and commenting!
