Got a pretty good deal on it (I think). It's a tenor banjo made by Gordon. Dunno much more about it other than it was for sale at the shop for over a decade.

I just got a Kazooie

Also bad link

Seems to work for me. So no love for the banjo, or asking questions, eh?

Yeah I've got one that I never use, and 12 basses that I use quite a bit.

Not a clue. If I was willing to open it I might be able to find out, but not sure I'm willing to.

Is that a 4 string or can I just not see the 5th?

Yeah, no, it's a 4 string.

Ah I missed where you said tenor. Well thats more for strumming chords rather than plucking like a regular banjo

I had been looking at it for a while, and the music shop was doing a liquidation everything must go change of ownership thing, so I got it on the cheap.

So I've read, but that seems like it'll be easier to learn to do.
