    I have no idea, but if you go to the website of The British Banjo Mandolin and Guitar Association http://www.banjomandolinguitar.org/ there's a links page that takes you to instrument manufacturers and suppliers
    http://www.banjomandolinguitar.org/links.htm

    Some of those might be able to help you.

    There's also this site which says it's the UK's biggest banjo dealer
    http://www.andybanjo.com/terms.htm

    From a look through that site it seems that there are quite a few different types of banjo so you'd have to have an idea of what you're looking for before you start.
  • Thankyou ever so much,i will try all the websites.x
  • I don't know anything about the quality of banjos/price etc, but I used the site Thomann to buy a guitar for my son and despite being in Germany they were very efficient with dispatch (less than 3 days) I mentioned it to someone at work and she said her boyfriend was also pleased when he used it.

    Can't help you OP but I recently learnt that to be a good banjo player is very difficult, I never thought it was.

    George Formby was regarded as an absolute genius banjo player because some of his ability has rarely been matched.
  • I thought George Formby played the ukelele :?
