I think I'll get a banjo. I'm told that all the great orchestras have them, and that JS Bach's "Trio Sonata For Clavichord, Viola and Banjo" is a true gem, though rarely performed. Mozart and Beethoven, I'm also told, were among the great composers who wrote for banjo and the last movement ("Allegro con molto banjo") of Beethoven's "Symphony Number 10 in G-Flat Minor" surpasses the finale to his Ninth. Besides, I think I can talk my brother out of it.
