Best Answer

Of course with any instrument the true answer is "whatever sounds good".

The important sound-affecting parts of a banjo are primarily the wood it's made from (maple is a popular choice for banjos) and whether or not it has a tone ring (brass is good material for that)

The materials used can very all over the map, and everybody will have their favourites.

One sign of a poor quality banjo is that the body is cast in aluminum. These are very common mass produced banjos that are sold under made-up brand names.

Your best bet is to talk to a reputable banjo dealer.

What are good banjos?

Any banjo is a good banjo! Banjos are built for different purposes. I personally like the Huber banjos, but if you play claw hammer or old time, you may like a open backed handmade banjo. The sound of a banjo is determined by the tone ring. This is a ring of wood or other material that controls the vibrations your banjo will make, such as a hollow rhythmic sound, a melodic sound, or a sharp and bouncy sound. The latter being my favorite. Some banjos to check out would be: Huber, Gibson, Washburn, or Deering.
