[Dixielandjazz] Banjo recommendations

[Skipwave at aol.com]

Thanks to all who contributed remarks concerning my interest in finding a 
good five string banjo. After scouring many a local shop I settled on a 
Fender FB-58 which is attractive, felt good in my hands and fit my budget. 
Thanks Elazar for the very detailed list of things to look for.  It has a 
rosewood fretboard and maple resonator and yes the tuning pegs turn easy and 
are slip free. 

I'm off to struggle some more through "Sailor's Hornpipe"
