Amena 5-String Banjo.

I’ve actually been thinking of a 6 string guitar tuned banjo as a project.......what does that make me??!! I didn’t know banjos were that hated, never had one but always been curious, is it a dark art to play ?

Otis Taylor makes his banjo sound very bluesy and awesome. Seasick Steve also does some good banjo tunes. Doesn't always have to mean closing time!

I actually love a good bit of banjo, but don't let Simon Barden hear you talking them up...

They're fine in their place.

And that place just happens to be a roaring fire on a cold day.

Guess there's so much hate for the banjo, because it's such a challenging instrument to play. People always hate what kick their a$$. Have fun with it earl Scruggs book is a valuable resource for both the luthier an the player!

I enjoy teasing banjo players, but I also LOVE listening to it. Something about that twang that gets me every time

Any C.W. Stoneking fans here? Seems like he may have been teased away from the banjo

Great band. Here is the Melbourne-based band that inspired me to buy a banjo! Not sure if they are still playing - they have been quiet of late unfortunately. Still trying to get my head around the banjo method! Love the sound thats for sure.
