Subject: RE: Help: Banjo purchase
C-Flat,

The one that 'Spaw linked to looks remarkably like the one that I am replacing. Mine has a different brand name, but that doesn't mean a lot when it comes to Banjos, especially Asian manufactured ones. Mine has been a pretty good starter banjo, I've heard a lot worse. But it is a cast aluminium pot and they don't have the same sound as the Mastertone style banjos that have a tone ring. Check out the eBay thread I started.
