Custom banjo shops are pretty profitable business.. I have a Gold Tone, my 2nd one. Sounds amazing, but i'm excited to buy a custom one when I eventually get a little more experience.
Far as snapping strings; in the spring-summer-fall seasons I play on the street for tips every weekend, and will usually go through a whole set by the end of the weekend. If i'm playing on broadway here in Nashville, anyway. It's so loud on the street ya see, that I gotta project my playin, and we tend to get rowdy after awhile.
So.. i've snapped hundreds of strings unfortunately!
