Start Your Banjo Journey

With the right instrument and a clear path to follow, learning the banjo becomes one of life’s great little adventures.

Your first tune might be closer than you think.

The Pathfinder Banjo & Six-Month Learning Package

Your Banjo. Your Roadmap. Your Next Adventure.

EXPECTED AROUND MID JANUARY 2027

Imagine simply picking up your banjo on a quiet evening and playing a tune simply for the pleasure of it. Or sitting in the garden around a warming fire pit, sharing music with the people you love.

The Pathfinder package gives you the instrument, lessons and guidance to start working towards those moments—even if you’ve never played a note.

Pre-order for £447 — regular package price £497.
FREE delivery to the UK & Ireland.
Estimated arrival: mid-January 2027.

Everything You Need To Begin

You don’t need to figure out which accessories to buy or hunt for lessons once your banjo arrives. Your Pathfinder comes with a complete beginner learning package:

• Your Pathfinder five-string open-back banjo

• Six months of Banjo Adventures membership, with step-by-step clawhammer lessons from your first rhythm towards playing tunes you love

• Personal guidance from Ben Dorning, so you have someone to help when you get stuck

• Access to the Banjo Cabin community, where you can share progress and enjoy learning alongside other players

• A printed Path of the Hobo Learning Journal, giving you a six-month roadmap and somewhere to record your progress

• FREE UK & Ireland delivery

From “I’ve Never Felt Musical” To Actually Enjoying Playing Music

You don’t need to read music or arrive with any experience. We’ll start with the basics and build your skills one manageable step at a time.

First, you’ll get comfortable holding and tuning your banjo. Then you’ll develop your clawhammer rhythm, introduce chords and begin bringing tunes to life.

With regular practice, those small steps can become something you carry with you for years: the confidence to pick up your banjo and enjoy playing.

You bring the practice. I’ll show you the path.

Reserve Your Pathfinder

Pre-order now to secure the £447 package price from our first batch of 12 Pathfinder banjos.

The shipment is expected to arrive in mid-January 2027. This is an estimate, and I’ll keep you updated as your banjo’s arrival approaches. Once it’s here and ready to send, your package will be dispatched with DPD.

Your six-month membership begins when you receive your banjo and activate your access, so you can make full use of your learning time.

At the end of your six months, you’ll have the option to continue with a paid Banjo Adventures membership.
