I'd like to recommend the Deering Goodtime banjo as a fine introductory instrument. Deering is a respectable company. It's made in the USA! And it's a playable instrument. A lot of Chinese banjos leave much to be desired, and the new player will become discouraged and quit. If you can find a local player to give you some tips, it will help you get started on the right foot. I have played a guitar for 46 years, and my banjo mentor had to get "guitar" out of my brain. The syncopated banjo rhythm is somewhat foreign to a guitar. Also - I indicated to him that I was not interested in learning to read banjo tablature. His response? Take that banjo home and put a "for sale" ad in the paper. He was right - why re-invent the wheel? Tablature is an easy way to get fingering technique from experts like Earl Scruggs and J.D. Crowe and many more. If you have a good local music store, they will give your original purchase price on a Goodtime for trade-in on an upgrade Deering banjo as you progress musically.
Just so I don't mis-represent myself - I am NOT a banjo player, but it is the most fun instrument that I've ever fooled with, and I'm good enough to play a few hymns in church. Old men have slow fingers. . .

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
