Fingerstyle does not buy in ‘6-packs’ – the majority of banjos on this site are offered on a one-off basis

There are thousands of banjos advertised every day.  Where do you start?  How do you avoid a rip-off?  If you’re buying ‘by remote’ who can you trust to pick out a diamond, not a lemon?  Ever been to a jam and had the “which one’s mine” confusion?  If pride of ownership is important, then look here for a quality instrument you won’t /find by the dozen in Australia/meet on the next corner. Tell us what you’re looking for! It’s a big wide world of banjos out there… we have a network of contacts to help locate the banjo you’re dreaming of. Fingerstyle takes pride in recommending the right banjo for your requirements and budget.

A big benefit of buying from Fingerstyle is that we are well-informed.  Capable of a quick response to the marketplace, we can offer fellow pickers the best of the newest releases.  We appreciate the joy others get from owning and playing an instrument that’s right for them - and possibly one of a kind. 

If a banjo is here on consignment Fingerstyle promises fair disclosure to the buyer, and a fair market price to the seller. 

Finally, we offer a unique service - to tweak your banjo to its maximum capability with customised retro-fit accessories such as spikes, pro bridges and tailpieces

We are happy to discuss the possibility of a trade-ins on your current banjo (after examination).
