I love to play the banjo, but if I'm going to be honest I'm better at buidling banjos than playing them. Even in that realm I have a very specific set of skills which are tweaked toward building certain types of banjos. I do set up work and minor repairs for a local music shop, but I don't do major repair to vintage instruments, and I am getting pretty good at getting the best tone out of most banjos, even the cheapies.
