It can certainly be done, but it isn't exactly forgiving of the normal beginner mistakes - it'll squawk them to the world. Just understand that and you'll do fine. And count your lucky stars - few beginners have the good fortune to start out on a banjo that good!

Just keep in mind that you dont have to have to fret the strings with so much pressure, my starter banjo had to really press to get a clear tone, that was the hardest thing to get used to. also with the right hand picking way to hard to get some sound.
