How do you tune a guitar like a banjo without breaking a string?
This banjo is a beaut! I only recently started to learn the banjo after decades of loving the instrument, but between going through your Beginner to Banjo courses and Jim Pankey’s lovely intro to banjo courses on YouTube, I’ve never felt more inspired to play. No matter the winner, thanks to you Ben and Recording King for the lovely contest.
Gonna give this one a go, even if i have to play on a out of tune banjo
Dazzling to behold!
Very nice of you to have this contest, Ben. If I don’t win, congrats to whomever wins!
I’ll take two please!
I’d love to have it.
Sign me up! Thanks, Ben.
I’ve never won anything and this would be an amazing start. I can already hear it echoing across the lake. Good luck to all
Sign me up, she’s a beauty
Note to Ken Mullins re theft of banjo: I just bought a fabulous archtop Gold Tone model from Ben’s store… I have a spare Fender model banjo that is still plenty serviceable. It’s yours if the need is there—if you pay shipping from Kentucky, that is. Hang in there. (of course if you win the Recording King, just send it back!)

Sign me up please! I love this banjo!
Beautiful Instrument…! Would sure like the opportunity to win it…!
Love that banjo
My old banjo was stolen out of my Jeep at school. Thank you OTC for not bothering to put up cameras in your parking lot. To add insult to injury I had to buy a new door window. Practicing my music kinda keeps me sorta sane. My wife says I need to win this banjo! LOL
Thanks for putting on the contest. I’d sho nuff love to win that banjer.
I may not win but I love bluegrass and country music
Awesome if I could win ! I love the banjo !!
I want dat banjo!!

Thank you for the opportunity to have a chance at winning this beautiful banjo.
Gold Pick member and General Store supporter. Thanks so much for this opportunity, Ben!
I personally do not play the banjo. I do have an autistic grandson that plays anything he can get his hands on. It would be great for him to learn on such a great instrument.
I’m kind of a private person for posting publicly. I love picking and I love the insights in your videos. Thanks for all of your hard work setting up and keeping your business going. You are making a positive difference in the world. Thank you.
Lifetime Gold Picker with my eyes set on a nice resonator to compliment my starter Hallowback. This would be a fine one to have and treasure for years! Thanks for the contest Ben! God Bless and Stay Safe.
Love this instrument play around with my cousin own would like to win this one
Whoohoo! Currently playing a borrowed banjo, so to have one of my own truely would be a blessing!
No matter who wins I want to thank you for the opportunity to possibly win.

Hi Ben from Melbourne, Australia. Would love to win this banjo to replace my Oakridge. Used to play a 4 string standard banjo but took up 5 string when I retired 5 years ago. What a difference, a whole new instrument to learn. Certainly keeps the old grey matter active.
Ah, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have another banjo to have in a different tuning all ready to go! And who ever wrote, “Is it okay to pray I win?”; it’s more than okay. I’m all over that one! Ben thanks for creating the excitement and getting ready with more good news next week! Mary
Fingers crossed would love a banjo that looks like that!
Mate…..I can’t play much yet but would love to have a crack at ripping a tune out on this
I debated whether to enter. I fear winner’s guilt. Wishing everyone all the best.
I’ll be glad to take that off your hands. I have a spot for it.
I’ll be glad to take that off your hands. I have a spot firit.
I can always make room for another banjo!
I’m Croatian not Russian, am I still qualified?
Living learning to play the banjo, would really like to play on this beauty!!
WHAT A GENEROUS GESTURE, I am retired now and wanting to learn to play one. count me in too.
Thank you for always being a blessing and looking for ways to help people.
Man I. Just mesmerized by your Banjos,I had a Banjo but was stolen,maybe I will be lucky and win one,thank you Jake Wilson Richmond California.
I just joined Ben and have been really excited about your lesson structure and have gained so much in the last few weeks until my banjo fell off its stand and broke its next 2 days ago. Winning this Beautiful Banjo 🪕 Would be an over the top blessing ☺️. Thanks to your excellent web site life is exciting 🙏
Count me in by all means. Being not able to go out I would love to practice my banjo lessons on this one.
Sign me up!
Alrighty Then! Thanks for another chance to win. My practice Banjo (and only Banjo) is a little cheapo no name but it beats nothing at all. You use what God supplies at that time and it was a gift from Him and I don’t question what God does. But maybe it’s my time, we’ll see. God Bless you Ben for making this possible.
How great to have a bit of good excitement for a change. Please count me in for the contest. I shall be practising with my fingers crossed!
Thanks!
Great, Thanks
The RKs are certainly in the running for distinction in bluegrass genre, at an affordable price. Quality sure seems to be where the RKs are concerned!
One for the money. Two for the show.
Nice looking banjo.
It would go well with my Recording King mando
This looks like a great banjo. Would be awesome to win.
Hi Ben:
Hope you are doing well.
Marc Darrow, MD
This would truly be a Great treat, to win such a Marvellous Instrument… fingers crossed… God Bless and be Safe during this trying time…
Previously owned two Recording King Banjos and their quality and playability is great.
Ever since I heard Dick Rosmini’s banjo interpretation of Shday Grove back in 1963 I loved the sound.
Ben, You and your sisters have been wonderful examples of what people should be. Hats off to you all. God bless! I know you know who I’m talking about. I will be praying for you all and I hope you found a good set of tires for the next time your sisters hit the road, especially if they show up at New River. If not, they’re on me. My Banjo instructor, Dick Brown, says the Recording King is the “real deal”. Throw my name in, Bro.
I would love one!
Hope you are al ok in the north. regards From Tasmania,
Australia.

It would be nice to win this. I had to sell my banjo to pay bills during this pandemic. I would like to be able to continue with my lessons.
A new banjo would be welcome.
Dazzling to behold!
OH BOY! Buckle up kid’s were in for a bumpy ride! Look’s like the competitions heatin up! Thank you Ben for givin us somethin to do wile we deal with lockdown. I had run out!
Gimmie DAT! Please!
Ifn I won this here banjo, I’d play “Front Porch” with my eyes closed and pretend I was with one amazing human. 😊 rip
what a beautiful instrument !!! I would be very happy to win it
Damn! I want that banjo.
So great! Thanks Banjo Ben!
It would be awesome to win this banjo! God Bless!
God bless you!
Great learning. Site. Just about up to speed on Arkansas Traveller. Thanks
Thanks Ben.
I sure could use a banjo. Your shop is the greatest
This would be awesome to win ! I have never tried to play a banjo!!
As I don’t presently own a banjo, I would seem to be a logical choice to be given one……..at least ahead of those that already possess one or more…Cheers!
Blessings to you Banjo Ben!!!!!
I will make room for it in my RV-4 ….. bring along a guitar or mandolin join us for a camp out in Johnson Creek, ID
Yes I need one!
I could use another banjo. My Original Dean is 4 years old.
Thank you! Always wanted a Banjo :-)
Thanks for all you’ve done for the community!
I enjoy your incites into the music world. Do you ever hear from Taylor Swift? You really made a difference in her music future. any way I wish you the best, you do a great job where you are. Maybe I’ll have a chance to see your store some time. God Bless Jeff
This is a beautiful banjo!! I would love to get this for my 5 brothers they love playing instruments I can’t hardly get them to do anything else and they have been looking to get a new banjo so this would be so awesome if I could get this one for them to play!!!!
Sure could use that banjo. thanks for giving me a chance.
The RK R35 is my favorite sounding banjo in the Recording King line. I’ve had two and sold them both to people looking for a great affordable banjo. The latest ones with the new finish are pretty instruments, too. These banjos are real winners, as are everyone who owns one…even if they had to buy it!
Wow!!! I don’t have a banjo
Sure could use a banjo.
Coincidence, I just happen to need another banjo.
What an absolute beauty!
I believe learning to play the banjo is the second best way to promote social distancing but you’re not giving away a fiddle!
Fingers crossed!
I love your contests! I did’nt enter last time and I sure wish I had given it a try!
Looks Great
Thanks for putting on a great contest Ben! You are one of the truly good ones!
Awesome, Good luck everybody.
