If you cannot play both banjos in a side by side comparison (which I did the last time I bought a banjo)then flip a coin or buy the prettiest or cheapest or lightest or whatever.

My point is that if you cannot hear the banjo yourself, you can't make an intelligent decision based on sound.

There's no standard vocabulary for describe banjo tones. One person's "woody" is somebody else's "plunky."

All banjos sound different, even if the construction and materials are identical and they were built by the same person on the same day.

A significant part of a banjo's tone depends on the setup. Change the the bridge location by a fraction of an inch, or the head tension by half a turn and you change the banjo's sound.

A significant part of a banjo's tone depends upon playing style. Different players can make the same banjo sound like anything from a Gibson mastertone to a homemade fretess with a groundhog hide head.
