Post #427,962 by mmoffitt 3/19/19 8:15:14 AM 3/19/19 8:15:14 AM Reply	Okay. At least I didn't suggest this one. ;0) OTOH, I'm not a real guitar player, but I am a real banjo player and I can tell you with absolute certainty that I cannot get my first banjo (a gift from my parents when I was 12) to ever sound like my Gibson Pre-War TB11 conversion. There is something to be said for not starting out on what we used to call "department store instruments" imo. For one thing, a quality instrument is a lot easier to fret and will make anyone sound better. ;0) bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

I also have one of these and I must say it is a very fine instrument, despite it's being made 60 years after my Gibson. ;0) There are very high quality banjos being made today. Even the relatively inexpensive Deering GoodTime resonator banjos (around $900.00 the last I looked) I've heard have really good tone. This is a very hot discussion/argument in banjo circles. Are the new Stellings, Huber's, Prucha's, Cox's, Sullivan's, etc. as "good" as the Pre-War Gibson's? My real opinion is play it, if you like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
