What kind of banjo are you getting, Jack? Congratulations...I have three. My main axe is my old top tension, and I have a Saga openback I use when writing tablature and a Gold Tone Cripple Creek that lives in Kansas. / ~Sam

Here's a picture of my top-tension: http://home.portbridge.com/beegee/lanebanjo/MVC-005F.jpg
I bought a Gibson-style 2-hump tailpiece that I started engraving, to replace the finger-style tailpiece.

banjos & tail pieces-engraving
This one is an older fender, found used in a music shop w/o banjo players present. I will move up from here later, this one just sounded so much better that the Dean that first bought, getting this one and giving the other to my brother, now we have three people in my family that can practice together, my neice plays the doghouse base, played in a band in Japan for Disney, Duncan and I are rank begginers but not rank strangers. There are some parts that I can make for this instrument that can be removed before trading or selling, the tailpiece being one, could I get your permission to use your flower? later Jack D. What kind of price for a Gold tone Cripple Creek?
