I was hoping for some advice from experienced banjo players; my husband is thinking about learning to play a banjo, and we don't know where to go from here. Should we buy him a banjo new, or used? Our budget is not large. We also would like to know if getting lessons, or finding a good do-it-yourself program would be better. What are the best beginner resources? And, finally, are there any people here in NH who teach banjo?

Well, I think that is enough questions for one post. Thank you all for your replies, and advice. Cedar
