Check out Banjo Hut. They carry Morgan Monroe, Recording King, Goldstar, and their own line of Mastercraft banjos. I've ordered from them before. http://banjohut.com/

so i have decided not to buy a banjo online. i feel the need to hold them and hear the sound and how it feels in my hands. a few people have enlightened me on some good shops in denver and boulder so soon i will check them out and play around with some good banjos till i find the one.

From what I've been able to find, Cort, the giant Korean guitar maker who makes Asian import line guitars for most of the major brands, also makes a line of "Kansas" banjos selling at low to moderate prices: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=kansas+banjo

The Morgan Monroe banjos that have been coming through our office have all been pretty nice. I did a workshop on banjo setup a few weeks ago using a MM Cameron banjo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yiilZ-PD1uQ -Patrick

Hello. I'm a relativly new banjo player myself. I have a deering goodtime. there are several different variations of it in the range of 400 to 700. Made in America, great set up. buying online from http://www.banjo.com is good. that's where i purchased mine. It's a good banjo that can last you a couple years before the urge to upgrade. Morgan Monroe are nice looking banjos but are forign made. I suggest american made.
