There is nothing like the sound of a banjo!

If you are new to the banjo, openback banjos have a more traditional sound and are most popular in folk music. Resonator banjos are louder and better suited to playing along with other instruments. If you plan to play country or bluegrass with other players, you will want the resonator.
