So I got a left handed banjo.....

...but despite being left handed I play guitar right handed. How hard is it to swop it over? Any online instructions and is it more than just swooping the strings as it is a 5 string? Thanks!

Five string banjo has a machine head on the side of the neck at the fifth fret, there is no way you can restring it right handed.
