Dualing Banjo's

I used to own the aria sb100 5 string banjo, which had traditional banjo tuning. I thought being a guitar player, banjo would be no problem. I was wrong, this solved my problem beautifully. If you can play guitar, you can play this banjo no problem, & it's really well made. I always wan't to play banjo since I saw Deliverance, now I can. Settle on the porch and play away, but, don't go in the woods.

Dean BW6 Backwoods 6-string Banjo

The Dean BW6 6-string banjo is wonderful for anyone who can play guitar and wants that banjo twang. This is a wonderful hybrid product. I have found that this is a wonderful instrument for country or bluegrass. I liked using this 6-string model a lot more than the 5-sting banjos that i have used in the past! You'll have that country twang before you know it!

Good axe-easy crossover

I've been wanting to join my bluegrass buds for a while but just couldn't get used to banjo tuning. I'm older and the learning curve is just too high now. This instrument is great! Now all I have to do is learn how to play banjo licks instead of guitar!
