I make the case that you actually need three banjos. You need a resonator, and open back and a fretless. Oh and a mountain banjo obviously, and gourd.

Nobody really NEEDS a banjo.

But, that's never stopped anyone before.

Step 1: Pick

Step 2: Grin

Step 3: ?????

Step 4: Profit!

The rule is:

If it’s a musical instrument, and you intend to learn it, it’s an investment. So….. BUY IT.

I just sold mine and I regret it

I bought a trauma banjo once. First of my close friends to commit suicide, senior year of highschool, shit really rocked me(not that subsequent incidents haven't) and not knowing what to do with myself drove to guitar center and bought a damn banjo. And nobody asked questions, seems like they understood.

I miss mine. It made my baby cry a lot. But someday it will return.
