Interesting to see a newly made modern (5+1) 6-string banjo. It looks beautifully made.
I play and record period repertoire on vintage original English 6-string and 7-string banjos using fingerstyle in the manner the was popular and distinct to the 19th and early 20th century English musical context.
The additional bass range of 6 and 7- string banjos does open up possibilities and adds a unique resonance to the sound even when those bass strings are not immediately picked. The neutral neck angle of original early banjos don't lend themselves to clawhammer. It's curious to see a modern build (5+1) 6-string played in this way.

Nice banjo, nice lesson.
Please show more 5+1. Your banjo has a gorgeous sound and the additional baritone string adds many dimensions that need to be explored.
I just got one similar to yours (Walnut, 12”, REN head) and can’t stop playing it. It is especially good for modal tunes when put in a G modal tuning with low G string resonating and sustaining like a drone.
(We need to standardize the name. I vote for 5+1 because it is more descriptive.)
