Looking to buy first banjo - Any advice on what to look for/ Avoid ??

Friday, January 8, 2010

 Ive been toying with the idea of learning to play the banjo for quite a while now and im prety much decided to just go buy one now but id really appreciate some advice from ppl who have experience with banjo's. 

Ive been playing guitar for quite a few years now so i would not class myself as a total novice. But i admit ive never picked up a banjo before in my life so im only assuming i could pick it up relatively quickly.

All the basic questions really. How different is playing the banjo ?(was thinking 5 string) is it just a case of adapting from guitar or is it totally different ? Whats a good make of banjo? How much would  I expect to pay for something half decent ? etc etc....

 Any and all advice woudl be appreciated ! Thanks very much.
