Might be fun to try one but I think I'll stay with my steel and nylon strung 5 strings for banjo playing. The video demo seemed to have all samples played with a pick which definitely gives a stronger sound than played with bare fingers. The price point is definitely on the affordable side for a Deering, but high enough that I wouldn't spend that much as a novelty only for the occasional studio session. Like the guy said, pretty good note separation but then again, what he was playing and how lended to good note separation. The banjo in the video sounded a little cheap at first but as I listened more it started to grow in quality. Is that a long-term, stable construction method ?Depends on the joint but Deering is very attentive to quality and I wouldn't have that concern, especially since it's strung with nylon (might sound even better with nylgut). The slot-head and neck are not the same, continuous piece of wood, but joined/glued.
