I am sorry to all of my dulcimer friends who all hoped for the best for me, but I am officially corrupted! Around two o-clock today, I purchased a bluegrass banjo. And what is even worse is that I am planning to learn it! I have liked bluegrass and especially banjo since I was about 5 years old. And about a month ago I found some friends to help me find a good banjo.
I ended up getting a Recording King Rk-R35 Five String Banjo from Banjo.com . It is a great sounding and looking instrument. And the folks at Banjo.com, which is based a couple of hours from here, were super helpful.
But dulcimer friends don't worry. I plan to play dulcimer just as much as always.

Cool, Nathaniel!! I think you'll do well with the banjo... and if you put as much time and effort into learning to play this instrument as you did the dulcimer.... all I can say is, LOOK OUT, HERE HE COMES!!! Can't wait to hear you... Check out the group.. MONROEVILLE.. all young men in the band. The banjo player is only 18, and a pro! They have a site here on facebook.
