I need to know the weight of this banjo. I have a very nice Fender banjo that I have installed a pick up on. The only reason I haven't played banjo for the last few years is the weight of this instrument, the tone ring in it sounds sweet but weighs too much for my old frame. I got it out a few weeks ago and find that if I sit it in my lap it makes my legs go numb and I can't even consider hanging it from a strap around my neck.

I finally woke up.... The banjo weighs 8.3 lbs. (Gold Tone website). I'm definitely interested. Can we haggle price or is $950 firm? Is shipping included?

I saw that Reverb ad right after I woke up this morning. $950 is a fair price but I always ask because you never know until you try.
I read some articles today about this model banjo today and now I am wondering about the action.
It seems that adjusting the action is a trick.
I tried to watch the Gold Tone video on how to do it but got an error message saying I didn't have permission to view it.
Any way to post a picture of the string height?

Here’s a pic to give an idea on the action. The neck has a four bolt attachment like a Fender guitar, so should be extremely easy to adjust with shims up or down. Pretty comfy action as it is.
