Hi there,

I am looking to start to get into some serious music.  And I will look no farther than a banjo! (also uke, diff post).  I would like to be recommended a starter banjo, not too expensive, easy to learn with, and last a bit.  Thanks for the help :)

If any other specifics are needed, please ask/post.

Thanks Again


Oh and I want it to be like the kind in the Oh Brother Art Thou:

Hi popnpoper,

One entry-level banjo that most people like is the Deering Goodtime, and you can find it here...

Those are nice, and a lot of people use them as travel banjos or beaters if and when they get more expensive banjos later on.

And one or two of us use them as our main (or only) banjo even after 7 years of playing!

Incidentally, if I saw the scene correctly, when Delbert is playing the banjo in the backseat of that car they stole, I do believe it was a Deering Goodtime!
