I'd consider the Deering good time if she is leaning toward a resonator banjo, I started on one and was very happy for a long time. It is not too heavy as well. I have a Gibson RB that is quite heavy (I'd guess nearly twice the weight, makes my Les Paul feel light). I passed mine along to a friend who wanted to learn, or I'd still have it.
