Re: Tenor Banjo suggestion for beginner Mando player
The suggestions to anybody looking for a beginner/inexpensive banjo is Deering Goodtime, Gold Tone, Recording King, especially the first 2, they have best QC. I had an RK Dirty 30's tenor and returned it, it had a lot of problems with neck angle and head height.
Buying banjos if you're not knowledgeable is tricky, there's rim rod and dowel stick banjos and they both seem to have a lot of problems but some of those problems are cheaply/easily fixable, like shimming neck joint to get it to 3 degrees or making the lag bolt holes in rim longer but you can't do that easily if you have a skirted tonering. I made a list of banjo buying problems https://www.reddit.com/r/banjo/comme...anjos/e1jaohg/
