I'll 2nd the deering models. I think they are extremely well made and sound nice, setup easy, and are light in weight. Just a fun all around banjo.
they make a tenor model also I think.
one that I've grown to love is the Americana model. I tend to like smaller pot sizes, but the 12" on this just sounds so good. Its still light but solid made. I've owned many a banjo that is much higher end, but I've found a lot to like and enjoy on the Americana.
