Part IV

Buyer’s Guide, Care and Feeding, and More

In this part . . .

I include a complete (and completely honest) buyer’s guide and maintenance advice in this part. The buyer’s guide can help you spend your money wisely on anything from a beginners’ instrument to a professional-model banjo. I also cover those accessories you really need as well as those extras that are just fun to have around the house. I also provide useful tips on banjo maintenance and string changing. Finally, I help you find a good teacher, survive your first jam session, and expand your musical horizons through workshops, camps, and music festivals.
