New Metronome available. High Quality, Boss Dr Beat. This is a new model from Boss, their other model is much more expensive.

Wittner MT50 Pocket Metronome Powered by 9 Volt Battery / Large dial for tempo selection from 40 to 208 beats per minute / Tempo range - 39 steps (40-208) / Earphone jack and Earphone I like this one a lot for an inexpensive, easy to use metronome. It's plenty loud enough and comes with an earphone. If you can take your time, learn to use it effectively, and use it often, it will be the best investment you'll ever make to help your banjo playing. |

National Thumbpick and a pair of Cobalt Coated Picks
National Thumbpick and a pair of Cobalt Coated Picks is all you need to get started picking the 5-string banjo.
Cobalt Nick Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
Cobalt coated special designed custom picks designed for solid tone, comfort, and speed. Bob Perry custom made these picks for me by my specifications. They fit back further on your finger like I requested for more comfort and power. The no hole design avoids those finger through the hole sores and more importantly gives the pick more mass for a thicker, fatter tone.

A finish that makes other picks obsolete!
Nasa has been using it for years in high-tech machinery, where expense was no object.
Used on metals to reduce friction and wear longer. End Result Picks do not drag or squeak on the strings!
Less drag means faster playing & cleaner sounding!

This brand new pick pouch for holding you banjo thumb and finger picks is the best one I've seen yet. It's big enough to not have to cram you fingerpicks in it and it has the little metal hinges that keep in rigid when you open and close it. It's a nice accessory like a wallet or a key case.
Comfort Picks This is the most comfortable thumbpick I've ever used. They sound good and don't come loose as you might suspect. This is a great product that could be used in any situation. I like to use them when I'm practicing and I've just begun performng with them, they cause a lot less fatigue.

Cheat-A-Keys D-Tuners Now you can spend less time setting screws on D-tuners and concentrate on using the tuners when you need them. These really work and don't require any modification to your banjo. By using these tuners it allows you to use the normal pegs on your banjo for tuning without needing to set, un-set or work around the screws on normal D-tuners.
