String Banjo
Looking to buy a 5 string banjo. HELP?

I’ve been playing for a couple of years now and I think it’s time for an upgrade, Could someone give me advice on what banjo to buy.

It’s hard to know how to answer this without knowing what you are upgrading from. Deering and Washburn make very nice intermediate level banjos from $200-$300 dollars. The more bells and whistles you want, the more they cost. Mine is a Washburn OB-5 (made in China of course), and has a nice sound particularly for notes further up the neck. Unless you are performing, I wouldn’t buy an expensive instrument that is made for performance. You can get just as much out of an intermediate level banjo.
