The Firefly banjoleles have been out for a few years now and I was wondering how people have found them performing in terms of durability.
Initially there seemed to be a lot of sceptical comment on how the drum - the non-tunable drum - would not last and could only be replaced rather than repaired, but since the release I have not read much about failures. For those of you who have put in considerable time on the Firefly do you consider them worthwhile for the long term?
I do rather like the more recent iteration, but alas they only make it in tenor scale.
