Howdy, I love watching Mummers bands. One in particular I like is the Quaker City String Band. Watching them, there are always 4-5 banjo players in the front row. What kind of banjo playing is this? Where I live here in SE Indiana, we have no bands like this. If there is, and it's not too far from me, I would love to learn to play like that and maybe even join a mummers band one day. Thanks

The banjos are plectrum banjos, and the playing is very rudimentary. It shouldn't be difficult to learn.

It is my understanding that more important than playing banjo is the mass consumption of booze.

So can you turn a 5-string banjo into a plectrum without doing anything major to a 5 string, maybe just by tuning it? I play claw hammer type.
