Hey guys,

I'm hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction. I'm looking to buy a 5 string banjo. Is Waltons in dublin the only real option for me?

I'm iffy about buying from donedeal/adverts as I wouldn't know if the banjo even is what they say it is regards model and all that jazz.

Would anyone know a good model to buy and where to get it for a beginner? Ideally, I was looking to spend about 350e - in the hopes that that would get me a decent sounding banjo and not a tatty piece of crap.

Any advice would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
