For good,{ I believe} or bad,,, I ordered a Prust banjo ,, I went ahead and got the 13" pot and regular scale, now I just have to be patient a few wks. ,, not my strong suit ;)
I bought a Prust a few years back and it has been a more than serviceable banjo. Great tone, comfortable neck and the head has stayed taught even during the hottest ,most humid weather. A very good deal
