I was wandering round an antiques centre recently near Inverness, when a 4 string banjo took my fancy. It's a cheap ARIA brand, but it's in perfect condition and seems to play well. I am however struggling with the tuning and associated fingering... so... can I put the top 4 strings from a set of Argentines on?! and tune to E,B,G,D? That would make my life much easier!!!
Once I get up to speed, prepare for some serious Django Banjo!!!
