I have a 1920s slingerland May Bell tenor banjo. I am into bluegrass and at the moment I have it tuned like the first four strings of a five string. I dont have much money so I cant buy my own five string. What I was wondering was if it was possible to remove the four string neck and put on a 5 string neck. The banjo needs neck work done already. I also should say that Elderly offered $40 (in the 20'sthey supposedly $65) meaning it's not of much value. Could you please help a kid trying to play clawhammer on a five string.

It would also be nice if you could give history of the instrument and an idea of how much it might cost MandolinBoy
