is the washburn b8 banjo pack a good one for an experienced musician new to banjo to buy?
what is the difference between a Washburn banjo and an Washburn made Oscar Schmidt banjo?
I am looking for a banjo for my tranquillize and think the OB5 looks like a good pick, BUT i dont know if a Washburn made Oscar Schmidt banjo is as good as just a Washburn banjo.What does that even mean-spirited,"Washburn made" .I dont know anything really about banjos so any info is appreciated.I would like a middle of the contract with banjo. He is an accomplished guitar player but a new banjo player. Something he could grow with would be nice but i dont have a ton of money and found a new OB5 on ebay for around 200$. Thanks for any input
Oscar Schmidt sounds unquestionably prestigious.
