I have been drooling over a banjo hanging in alocal pawn shop fro months now. It is worth every cent of the $700 dollars they are asking for it but I couldn't make a down payment on one of its strings right now (and probably never will be able to) The shop owner whom I have known for years lets me take it down and pluck it whenever I go in, porobably in hopes that I will buy it. This thread will not doubt cause me to go tommorow and 'visit' with the banjo for a while!
