Caleb: Buying a banjo for $150 to #300 will frustrate you more then paying a thousand dollars, more or less, for a really great one! Please access this address: That is my email address, and i can send you much info about lessons, and web-sites, music, all kinds of helpful ideas about 5-string banjo pickin'. We have a Bluegrass club in Yahoo, and we all access it every day. There are many sites where you can find out anything you want to know. That site is: WPBGC@yahoo.com It is the address for the:"Western Pennsylvania Blue Grass Club" As for learning to play "Duelling Banjos"--Don't waste yer time on it! I don't think i have heard it played at all by anybody above the "Rank Amateur" level! As for buying a banjo, try a Gold Tone, 5-string flattop style, bluegrass type. And don't buy their cheapest one-go for a better one. You'll need a battery powered tuner, a set of picks and some spares, a capo for playing in some other key except "G", and a fifth-string capo, too. Also there are lots of books out there with bluegrass songs in them, along with words and suggested keys to play the songs in. Now, there is one word of warning to all this: IF, and i really mean IF; you can hum, whistle keep time to music, whistle, or do some simging along with records or the TV or radio, then go with your plans. BUT!! IF you can't do any of those things--then don't bother spending your money on a banjo, because you must have musical feelings to learn music and play any musical instrument. Some young fellers and girls, when they find they can't learn an instrument, they get their parents to buy them a big new electric guitar and an amplifier, and a microphone, because they think that will cure the problem! Which it won't! It only shows how dumb they were for thinking electricity will make their kid into a stage ready musician! Motto: Ya got to have it to learn it, and really be good to amplify it!

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
