Banjo suggestions?

[KrazyHorse]

I'm thinking about starting to play. Background: 11 years of classical violin, overlapping with 2-3 years of playing fiddle sporadically in various Irish bands.

I'm looking for reasonable value per dollar spent, but don't necessarily care too much about spending the least possible.

Any suggestions?

Simple question to answer before taking up the banjo:

Are you a redneck?

Being a redneck for a week while on vacation feels awesome

I can imagine now Slowwie and KH playing the banjo together on a porch.

Smoking corn cob pipes?

Among other things...

I didn't specify what was in the pipe.

Pipe is a metaphor.

I am curious about the reason for the choice of instrument.

Dueling banjos.

The definition of "Gentleman" is "A man who can play the banjo, but doesn't."

Sorry KH, you aren't poor or stupid enough to play the banjo. NASCAR is also out for you.

just be careful you don't snap your banjo string.
