Or guitars or saxophones;) I'm certain that you have listened to Bela Fleck, a wizard in all things banjo, particularly jazz and classical. My early favorite was Jerry Garcia of course, legendary lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead, he played a fine banjo and pedal steel...but Bela is a true master. Don't know how much you have followed him, here's a Tiny Desk Concert w his wife Abigail Washburn. Beautiful instrument and sad about Alan, he leaves a legacy. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bela+fleck+and+wife&view=detail&mid=93DB1CDA6C0A1AE1F82B93DB1CDA6C0A1AE1F82B&FO
