You can spend an absolute fortune on a banjo with a tone ring itself costing more than a decent guitar.
Have a look at https://www.andybanjo.com/
Deering Goodtime do some really decent entry models and beyond as do Goldtone, probably best to try a more entry level until you see if you are serious . You can then upgrade but keep first as your go to practice one. Eagle music of Huddersfield are worth looking at online
Alternatively you can get a 6 string "banjo" guitar but that not really the same learning the banjer

I would endorse the Goldtone Erchie. If they are half as good as the Goldtone Tenor Guitar (which I have) ..Bruce Millers closing down sale

I have a Ozark 3372 Tenor Guitar which I really like ( without fishman pickup ) I have been trying to find a soundhole pickup which fits a 80mm diameter for occasional home use but no luck so far.

It is mad how many instruments that you can accumulate
resonator and openback banjos, 2 mandolins, mandocaster, tenor guitar,6 ukuleles, some cast off guitars etc. Contemplating a shortscale tenor banjo ( although one of cast offs was brutalised to be similar to tenor banjo ( pre tenor guitar )
Add to that a piano, drumkit, percussion, whistles , harmonicas and wee Erchies classical guitars, electric and one of those Ed Sheeran electro acoustic martin thingummyjigs.....I should really try and buy the Bruce Millers musical clock ,fit it to the front of the hoose and be done with it !
