5-String Banjo 24 Bracket with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033P1O6S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
This is the one I started with. I wanted to see if I enjoyed it/had any skill before buying a nice one. It will do the job, but if you can find a better beginner banjo used in a store it is Much better as these from amazon really need set up work. But overall, it works, you can learn on it. Happy picking.
This is the one I bought/was given for Christmas: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033P1O6S
I'm nowhere near a good player, so I can't answer that question. For learning an instrument for the first time though, I've enjoyed it.
I bought this one from Amazon 3 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/5-String-Bracket-Closed-Jameson-Guitars/dp/B0033P1O6S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515707917&sr=8-4&keywords=banjo ... It might be a cheap Amazon Banjo (Jameson) but I love it and am going to upgrade once I get better. 4.5 stars of out 700+ reviews. The same banjo on the Jameson website is $299. I honestly can't rave enough about it. And no, I don't work for these guys.
