The Pilgrim brand has made a name for itself in the field of stringed instruments by building high quality banjos. Of course, the Jubilee series has not skimped on quality and materials either.
The Pilgrim VPB002 is an ideal first banjo for beginners, but thanks to the materials used it will serve equally well for moderately advanced banjo players. The body and neck are made of maple, a material that is also standard on higher priced banjos. It also includes features that we're only familiar with from much more expensive instruments, such as gear tuning mechanisms, an adjustable stringer, and a Remo WeatherKing sandblasted bellows.
It is therefore a decent stepping stone into the world of banjo playing. This open back banjo is an ideal choice for beginning banjo players who are looking for quality and playing comfort, but the economical side of things is also important to them.
