Looking for a Plectrum banjo...

[Russ Chandler]

I hope you'll all forgive me going a little off topic but does anyone have a decent player quality Plectrum banjo for sale?

I've been invited to join a band, and I've always fancied having a go at some trad banjo.

Having said that it will be a side project, and will also be outdoors a lot so I don't want a very high quality or historically interesting instrument. 

But I'd like a decent one rather than an old banger. 

They are not all that easy to come by in the UK.

Can anyone help me out?

Brown Dog banjos in Kent has a couple I think, a CE and a cheaper Dallas, albeit both very playable and decent sounding instruments, sadly Bob passed away some weeks ago but his widow Tina seems to still be in business .
