For Guitar Players, tuned like a guitar in E,A,D,G,B,E, the D-6 is a professional banjo that is heavier than the B-6 with the full rim and tonering design of a bluegrass banjo. It has more volume and sustain than the B-6 and at 11 lbs, you’ll tend to play it sitting down and resting the banjo on both legs. It will fill the room with great music with a light touch of your fingers or flat pick!
You can relax using light touch and get a much more vibrant and responsive tone playing the D-6 with considerably less effort than you use in playing a guitar. Guitar players have nothing more to learn, just play your favorite songs because it's a guitar that sounds like a banjo.
