sorted byObviously if you are only interested in Banjo you would be better with a traditional 5-string.
For any guitar players who want a quick route to banjo, an alternative to this would be to get a tenor banjo/4 string banjo. You can tune it to "chicago" tuning which is DGBe. That way you can just do 3 or 4 note chords voicings and don't have to learn a completely new tuning.
I've heard the negatives with the 6 string banjo are that the 2 low strings don't really sound that "banjo-like" therefore are a bit redundant. I haven't played one myself though so can't give my own opinion on that.
I like.
Drrrink.
I agree 12 string banjo is almost a sitar. (edited)
I was given a Tanglewood very similar to this quite some time ago - can't say it sounds good
