Buying a left-handed banjo
A left-handed banjo is built as a mirror image of a right-handed one, with the neck, the fifth-string tuner and the armrest all reversed. That is why you cannot simply restring a right-handed five-string banjo for lefty playing. The short fifth string and its tuner sit on the wrong side of the neck. A true left-handed banjo puts everything where your hands expect it.
Every style, built for lefties
This page covers left-handed resonator banjos for bluegrass, left-handed open-backs for clawhammer and old-time, and left-handed tenors, banjo ukuleles and six-strings. Many popular models, from beginner banjos to pro instruments, come in a left-handed version.
