Easily, Countess...

That said, I have heard this banjo and for £80, it seems like it could be a very good buy. If it plays well, you can not argue at that price!!!

I never saw it closely though - is it an alloy rim job? As far as I know, Encore are a JHS brand name but I can't find anything on their site about Encore banjos - the ones I found are labled Vintage. I'd take my usual guess, ie, it's most likely a Samick.
