I was at a song circle this weekend. I swapped banjos with someone there who had a 'better banjo' than mine. I played a tune on his banjo that I was having difficulties with on mine. On mine I could not do the 'hammer-on' technique up the neck. But on his banjo it worked beautifully. We swapped back. I told him what my problem was. He tried himself and found he could not do it either. He said "oy, this is awful!"
