Hi! So I am a fairly new banjo player and I happen to have a 1963 Gibson RB-170. It's a 5-String open-back banjo. I know almost nothing about this banjo. I'd love some thoughts on this banjo. Is it a good banjo? What is the key to getting the best sound from it? What's important when it comes to taking care of this beautiful instrument? What else should I know about it?
Thank you for reading this. I look forward to your responses. Any advice is welcome as I am a beginner but have absolutely fallen in love with this instrument. I can't get enough. I try to practice 3 to 4 hours a day.
Will
