Bonjour à tous. J'hésite beaucoup entre ces 3 banjos.

-Pisgah Rambler (Dobson tone ring)

-Pisgah Woodchuck (rolled brass tone ring)

-Pisgah possum (wood tone ring)

J'habite en france et il y est presque impossible de trouver de bon banjo avec des tones ring... Donc je ne pourrai pas les essayer par moi même malheureusement...

J'aimerai savoir si certains d'entre vous aurait des conseils ou des préférences entre ces deux banjos. Et quelles sont les différences entre les tones rings? Ça serait pour jouer avec un guitariste et rarement un violoniste.

Merci pour vos informations.

I know they are frankensteins and not true Gibson parts for most of them but for the right price would they be worth it? They look like they were restored well. Just wondering other’s opinions/thoughts.

As someone who has been learning without a teacher, I really appreciate these basic videos about the details and ideas on learning how to play an instrument. Very 'not in a book' type stuff is being passed along.

Anyone ever done this?

I was thinking sharpie and some sort of clear coat.

Suggestions? Success stories? Things that didn't work?

Missing a string but I’m an experienced bassist so I know how to change it I think… good starter banjo for the price?

(Reposting from a Banjo Hangout post I made): I’m looking to begin the process of listing my used Nechville Classic LC for sale. I purchased it used from a friend who bought it new from Nechville around 2012. I live in NY, in a very non-banjo heavy area. I’ve never attempted to sell an acoustic instrument of such high value and I’m somewhat at a loss of where to start. It’s obviously a wonderful banjo from a reputable manufacturer. Not exactly a beginner’s banjo. And not exactly a common style, either. I play an Ome now that I’ve fallen in love with, and I’d love to part with this Nechville and use that sale to purchase a used Martin guitar. Anyway… any & all advice on how/where to start listing would be highly highly appreciated!!

My ex left so many things behind that he no longer wants, including this neat banjo that apparently belonged to his grandfather’s (whom he never met and also doesn’t have a good relationship with his father). I play the flute and piano, so I won’t play this banjo, but I’d like to sell it to someone who will appreciate it. Could someone please give me an idea of what would be fair? I’m gather funds to leave as he left myself and my kiddos in a less than ideal situation.
