Vangoa 5-saitiges Banjo, Remo-Kopf, geschlossen, massiver Boden, mit Anfänger-Kit, 38 Zoll

This is a really good instrument for beginners. It’s solid quality and has a good weight so it feels like a more expensive banjo. The accents make it look really nice for the price. It won’t sound as good as a high-end banjo but it’s definitely good enough for someone who’s just starting out.

I have to say, for $125 I wasn't expecting much. And out of the box it was very difficult to play. As I travel ALOT in my job as a touring guitar tech, I wanted a banjo that would fit in my suitcase, and figured it was worth a roll of the dice.Being a professional guitar tech, I was afforded the ability to make this little banjo (what I would call) usable.1st I had to shim the neck a bit to bring down the action. Then I put heavier gauge strings on it, so I could tune it to open G and still feel some resistance while picking. I built a set of strings that are 11, 28, 18, 14, 11. Also I had to cut down all of the nut slots significantly, (including the high G 5th string). The high G should rest ON the 5th fret. It was way too high. In fact all the nut slots were so high, that when you fretted any string on the first few frets, it would press the string so far sharp, the fretted notes were very sharp and out of tune.Due to it's size (and my fat fingers) it's still going to take some getting used to.As it sits now, it plays fairly well. For $125 I'd say, after a proper setup, it's well worth the price. And there's a ton of accessories included. I'm quite happy with my purchase.

I have played guitar for years but have really been wanting to explore the banjo without breaking the bank. Great reviews led me to this one. Time will tell if it's a love affair or not.
