Fun, easy, conversation starter!
Super fun kit! I play several instruments, including ukulele and mountain dulcimer. Since I was already familiar with the dulcimer style fretboard, I decided to get one. It took probably 30-40 minutes to assemble, and the instructions were easy to follow. Unfortunately I broke the first string almost immidiately. They send 2 stings, however, so I strung it back up and it was good for about a week. The second string broke so I stole heavier guitar string from my wife's backup strings, and installed that. Now it's held up quite nicely and it's a great little instrument. Lightweight, folksy sound, and always gets tons of reactions. If you want to learn a stringed instrument, but don't want to learn (or cant) chords, this is about as easy as they come! Fyi, since this has a metal string, you'll still have to develop calluses on your fingertip.

Interesting sound and a conversation piece.
I felt it to be more difficult to build, but I have no technical woodworking skills. ✌️

Canjo? Bet you can :P
So i love this thing. It was easy enough to put together, and plays great. I wanted something for me to pick along to while singing with my girls, and this fits the bill. I stained my neck for a different look and love it. If you have always wanted to play an instrument, this is one I think almost anyone can play.
