Sneak up on him and break it

Time to start the family band!

Good luck with that :)

Go buy another banjo and beat him over the head with it! It'll be like.... dueling banjos.

Whoever said YDI must be insane, or doesn't get how awful the sound of a tone deaf musician/vocalist is. I'm guessing he has no prior music experience. FYL, and go smash that banjo against a countertop. :D

Wait until dad goes to the bathroom, then cut the strings, then run away. When he comes looking act all sorry, even work up a tear or two to show dad how bad you feel that he was sold a defective banjo. Something like this: DAD..."Look what happened to my banjo! Do you know anything about this?" YOU... "No dad. OH MY GOD, what happened? Dad, those bastards sold you a defective banjo (sniff, sniff). I saw a show about the banjo scammers on 60 minutes (small sobbing cry). You had better return that right away. Besides dad, you're wayyy to intelligent and talented to play the banjo. I think a man of your abilities needs to do something cool, like model ship building. You would rock at that!"

Or, you could always throw it away when he's not around and then tell him, "The dingo ate your banjo"

But once he learns "Dueling Banjos" and gets one of his buddies to learn it too, they can battle and you'll wish you hadn't complained cuz it's awesome!!

Could be worse, op :)
