There's something about buying the least expensive instrument and taking good care of it and learning to get something good out of it that just satisfies me

[@jethrobodine4638]

great video! as a person with many hobbies some not cheap, i have always felt buy the best you can afford. that being said, so many people get these great ideas "i am going to be a banjo player" and never put in the time or follow through. if you are one of those people i say definitely buy a cheaper model. my problem was there were no music stores that carried open back models in my area and few resonator banjos. so "trying out" a banjo was a joke. so i researched online and prayed i would like the banjo i ordered. my first was a Deering Artisan Americana which i still have. it was a good beginning choice. i since have 8 banjos (Deering, Pisgah, Gold Tone, Sylvan, Stone, Mulheron) with different heads and tone rings. No one told me banjo's are addicting! LOL

The older Japanese banjos from 70s/80s are also great banjos for that you can find for under $400. And are comparable quality to the $1000 Chinese ones today. I found an old saga metal rim banjo for 300 dollars with d tuners. And surprisingly very bright and clean sounding. So cheap doesn’t have to be junk. Haha

Great video. Is that an old-school Gumby peghead Deering Goodtime behind you? If you have any insight on this, could you do a similar video on the pros and cons of buying new vs used (both for affordable and higher end banjos; and buying from a private party vs from a company like Reverb)? I'm still a ways off from buying my next banjo, but my eyes are kind of set on a Nechville...buying one used would take some of the sting out of their full-priced ($$$) models.
