hi.........first time here. Im looking to purchase my first 5 string banjo and hopefully learn to do a little picking. I have minimal experience........or talent........no some things about music from taking accordion lessons as a kid and from several failed attempts to master the guitar. Also learned to strum a few cords on my dads old 4 string banjo. My kids want me to take up a hobby...........and they suggested the banjo. Anyway.......been looking around the internet for beginners banjo's...........cant believe how many brands there are..........for something under or around $200.00. Can anyone reccomend one for me and do any of you pickers have any knowledge of any of these 5 strings Ive seen?
RW Jameson model 400 ......its currently sale priced @ $158.00
Washburn model B9..............$229.00
BadAax model 5....................sale priced at $147.00
Rover RB 35 ...........................$175.00
Indiana IB200...........(I really like the looks of this)....sale priced $209.95.
Also...........any suggestions for learning aids.......videos........etc.
Thanks
Wayne
