Members usually play the Plectrum banjo or the Tenor banjo. This style of playing was made popular in the 1920's and 1930's. The plectrum usually has 22 frets and the tenor has 19 frets. A five string banjo can be played with our music, but usually only if it is played with a pick. Using finger picks, and the fifth string, will add a blue-grass under tone, which is not usually the type of sound that we try to achieve.
Some members actually use a five-string banjo, with the fifth string removed.
If in doubt, show up and we'll jam together any way we can. But, be sure to come back and visit us again.
