Has anyone heard of this brand of banjo? It is 5 string, resonated, appears to be nylon strung. Has anyone had any experience with this instrument? Thanks!

Punch in members.tripod.com/~clawhammer44 for a site with a picture of one owned by a Rhode Island boy who loves to talk. So if you want more info, email him.

By the way, Banjer, Glen Moorehead, who owns the site cited above, tells me it's an "entry level" banjo. So if you are about to buy one, its desirability will depend on your skill level.

With my current level of playing skill, even an entry level banjo is too advanced for me, but how low can ya go?
