    Hi everyone.

    Does anyone know if a 4 string banjo can be strung left handed or do you need to get a left handed banjo?

    Thanks.

    You'd have to make sure the nut could accomodate the reversed string gauges at the least.

    yeah, so long as the nut will allow the strings ok, there should be no issue.

    intonation on a banjo isn't as critical as a guitar so you should be fine
