Hi,

I'm visiting my brother in Philly and want to go to the Philly folk festival in August.

I play clawhammer and would like to hire an open back banjo to take to the festival, as it's such a ball ache to get instruments on the plane nowadays.

a playable cheapie would be fine.

I'd be grateful for suggestions as to where I might try

Cheers

Andy
