Such a beautiful instrument. The wood work is so nice, and overall construction surprisingly good for such a low price. I'm no banjo player (though I am a professional drummer) so can't speak to its playability, but it seems pretty good to me. The value is extraordinary.

Aunque siempre se puede mejorar algo, en cualquier instrumento, para el precio que tiene este banjo, suena y se toca bastante, pero que bastante bien. Además, viene con una funda acolchada muy decente y un bolsita con un montón de accesorios dentro.

Couple things on 26 inch travel banjo. I've been playing guitar for over 15 years. In that 15 years I've played anything from first act guitars from Walmart to high end PRS guitars. With that being said this was a pretty pleasant surprise. It plays well, I enjoy holding it, and it actually has a very nice tone to it. Now then first thing, when I got the box I was terrified, half if it was crushed and mangle. I saw the reviews of the neck being busted during shipping. I opened it and it was fine the banjo box was undamaged. I opened spent a few minutes inspecting the quality and setting it up. The fret board was incredibly dry, applied two coats of lemon oil, it was better but not perfect. I applied oil again a couple days later it's starting to look a lot better. Next after the first couple days when I started to actually play on the neck rather than just doing rolls I found that the fret wires are finished super great, and are a little rough. However the neck is so small I don't think it will be too much a problem. But now that I know this I'm gonna have to try and finish them a little better when I got to re-string it. Is this banjo the best thing money can buy, no but it doesn't have to be either. This is probably one of the best starter instruments I've played and I'm excited to continue to learn and eventually move into a full size banjo. Which when the time comes if I can't find one locally, I'll probably be buying a vangao until I'm really ready to dump the money into a Deering or a Washburn. Also it will be perfect for taking on the road, when I'm out of town. That's all I got for now.

I play for the fun of it and this is the perfect size to sit on a shelf next to my chair .. I pick it up often. I use a ukulele stand. It was very easy to set the bridge. I’ve only had to retune once, it holds a tune well. I thought I was going to want it restrung for open G but the open C tuning is just fine. Easy to play, the frets not as deep as full size banjo. A lot lighter but heavy enough to feel sturdy. (I’m 61 years old, female. My left shoulder gets tired on my big banjo :/ ) Awesome deal too! Very nice padded case and extra stuff!

Once set up correctly and tuned, these are nice sounding banjos. The quality for the price is very good. It’s only a small banjo but is loud and bright.My bag zip popped. I got in touch with customer service for Vangoa. They are sending me a new padded bag.

Je suis très content avec ce banjo. C’est facile à mettre dans la voiture donc je peux faire le practice n'importe où. La qualité est bonne et il reste bien accordé.Je l'ai accordé comme GECGc afin que je puisse l’utiliser avec la même position de doigts comme mon banjo plein taille.À cause du taille du banjo les frets sont très étroit et plus haut du 15ème frette, le banjo devient un peu difficile à jouer.Quand j'ai acheté le banjo je devais serrer les supports du tête parce qu’ils étaient lâches.Finalement, le prix de ce banjo est fantastique.
