Ohh, nice! what make? Five string? open back or resonator?
(the pedant in me says "Bluegrass is generally banjo, bass, guitar and mandolin, what you are suggesting is a jug band or possibly skiffle band")
5 string and resonator! Don't recall the brand off-hand - the nice chap in the shop recommeneded it as a decent entry-level banjo. I'm still awful at it, due to having no muscial talent at all, but even just getting a pull-off or slide to sort-of work is very satisfying.
