Banjo 101: Buyer's Guide 

Just bought a ute standard from y'all, and I love it. Nice job on that little Cumberland gap on the deering

You should list the banjos with links to your shop in the video description so people can buy them from you.

The man knows how to sell a banjo

Nice informative I have a derring black diamond with a frosted head had about 10 yrs now it was in the case for almost 2 yrs during moving around pulled it out couple weeks ago and still in tune minus a 1/2 tone or so on the top G they make very very nice instruments.

I have a gold tone ob3 twanger I have only had it about a month Love it sounds very good only getting used to it,s weight but it will do

That was very interesting! I have a banjolele - purchased from the Folklore Center, of course - but I don’t know much about the big boys. I’m not quite ready to take up another stringed instrument. However, next time I listen to a banjo player, I’ll know a lot more about the instrument. Thanks!

Goldtone "CC50RP"??? Is that correct? Would have been helpful to list the banjos, their model numbers and prices under "Show more".

That is very fascinating learning that the role of the banjo in bluegrass music is like the bass, as it is supposed to “cut through” the other instruments. Could you tell me more about the role of various instruments in bluegrass? For example, what is the role of the mandolin - since the mandolin also seems to “cut through” other instruments, as well, with the “chop chords”. Does it play the melody? Does it compete with - or does it support the fiddle? Also, what about the guitar in bluegrass? Is that an “archtop guitar” - and what is its role? Thank you.

great video. i love the banjo, been playing clawhammer about a year. hard to find face to face/zoom lessons, doing my best to learn from online. also hard to find variety of banjos in stores to try out before you buy. i now have 8 banjos of different rim sizes and tone rings lol it can be addicting.

Thank you very much!

What do you think about the mandolin-banjo (banjolin)? Does it sound closer to a banjo or mandolin? I am intrigued by that instrument!

I'm intrigued about the price of banjos. I'm coming from a string instrument background. 2k is low-end quality for a string instrument. For example, my sister plays on a 35k violin.

Thank you for this video . I learned something . I own a Deering Good Time and am not hearing what I want to hear from it . A Sierra is what I should have purchased . How do you feel about the Recording King brand ?

What about the tenor banjo? I've heard it's more oriented to dixieland jazz. But can you also pay dixieland jazz on a 5-string banjo? And can you play bluegrass on a tenor banjo?

Jeff, are you still teaching Clawhammer banjo?

Can you recommend a banjo instructor in the Colorado Springs - Monument - Franktown area?

Do you guys have any left handed banjos?

Do you guys take trades? I’m looking for a banjo and I have plenty of guitars

What is your opinion of the banjo Ukelele ❓😁

me no like finger picks
