A Banjo Among Us

For more than four years Nathaniel Barn Loft only played the dulcimer. Now there is a new sound coming from his fingers -- and it's loud!

Barn Loft decided that he wanted to buy a bluegrass banjo. He did research, asked for advice from experienced banjo players and figured out the best banjo for his needs. The man at banjo.com advised Barn Loft to practice finger rolls instead of learning songs from YouTube. There are basics that he needs to learn. Barn Loft also bought a teaching CD. "He'll get it down soon," said Main House President Dad. Barn Loft's banjo weighs 13 pounds - which is a lot heavier than a dulcimer!
