There is no resonator! I returned the banjo with a note suggesting they make it clear this is an open back instrument, but this apparently fell on deaf ears. I found a great banjo (believe it or not) from Walmart's web site. The brand is Trinity River and comes with a gig bag for under $200.00 with free shipping. **Q: Title says "resonator tenor banjo", but the description says "open back". which is it? you need to fix your title/description so they match!** A: Hi Dr. H, it is an open back banjo. I wanted the aluminum pot one but I'm just starting so this will do.The aluminum model is the Rover RB 40 Open Back Banjo, banjo hut has a nice package! **Q: The description says it has a friction fifth string peg, but the photo seems to show a geared tuner for the fifth string. Which comes on the banjo?** A: It is a geared tuner. **Q: how much difference in string tension is there between 4 string banjo and 5 string banjo?** A: The 4 string tenor and the five string are two different instruments. They are tuned differently and played differently. String tension doesn't come into play here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rover RB-25 Open Back 5 String Banjo - Shappy 12 Pcs Steel Finger Picks Set, Including Stainless Steel Finger Picks and Thumb Picks, Metal Finger Picks Adjustable Bass Finger Picks for Guitar, Banjos and Other (Simple Style) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/21901720-rover-rb-25-open-back-5-string-banjo](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/21901720-rover-rb-25-open-back-5-string-banjo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
