They are getting scarce.. could be a collectors item, as well as a
useful instrument if you want a banjo sound without having to learn
how to play a banjo!

There is s certain skill to playing them, but when you know what
you're doing, they sound nice! I'm looking for one right now. How much
do you want for yours? What condition is it in? I had one some years
ago and wished I hadn't sold it.

Hi Jack

I payed £200 for it a few years ago, it`s in pretty much pristine condition I
think, with a soft case. I`ll take any reasonable offer. I`m in the North
West, Nr Lancaster.

Hi Ron - this is confusing - there's Big Ally with a capital A and then
there's me, wee ally with a small a.......... Personally I haven't played a
banjo for ages, though I think I've still got an old John Gray longneck
Appalachian 5-string lurking at the back of a cupboard somewhere. How d'you
think that would go with morris dancing? Should I stick to my c-melody sax?

I think a morris team dancing to banjo, harmonica and washboard would be
splendid, I have a really unusual Windsor behind the sofa.. maybe I`ll try to
learn to play it one day. Meantime. I`ll stick to ukulele... Hmm
ukulelemorris... promising...

Without wishing to detract in any way from your sale, as a banjo player
myself (clawhammer), I have to say there's no way a six-string banjo
played like a guitar is going to have a "banjo sound" in the way I think
about it. :)
