    • Great for beginners
Size: 38 Inch
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.

    • Totally Awesome Instrument
Size: 38 Inch
This Banjo is gorgeous!! First of all, it was carefully packaged and wrapped. It came in a card board box, then in it's case, then in a bag and all the strings were wrapped in waxrd paper. It comes with so many extras like a tuner, shoulder strap, finger picks, extra strings and a wall holder!! The banjo sounds so great and I can't wait to start my lessons. It's a beautiful instrument at an AMAZING price. ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Great for Beginner

Came in on time no damage played right out of box. Might have to adjust the bridge to get in tune but overall great built quality instrument.

    • Nifty little travel banjo!
Size: 26 Inch
I got this for an upcoming trip on which it would be impractical to take a full-sized banjo. I didn't have high expectations for the Vangoa but it really surprised me! I'm a clawhammer player and the strings are spaced far enough apart that playing it is not a different experience for the right hand, which is where the rubber meets the road for what is a practice instrument. The width of the strings at the bridge is 1 11/16", which is exactly the same as a regular banjo. At the nut it unfortunately gets narrower than a regular banjo (13/16" versus 1"), but you can't have everything...certainly not at this price. It is still quite playable for the left hand. You may have to play some things you'd normally play with the left pinky with the ring finger instead; but since this is really just a keep-in-trim instrument it's not that big a deal. The playing experience for the picking or clawhammering hand is about the same as a full-size when it's tuned to C or B. The only beginner I would want to get this instrument is a very young child. A kid 10 and above, or an adult, should not be learning on this instrument, as the distance between the frets is way narrower than a full-size. There's some other goodies included--gig bag, strap, contact pickup (!), plastic thumb and plastic finger picks, an extra set of strings--which one might get some use from even if they found the instrument useless. In terms of use for other than a practice instrument, its voice and size make it a lot like a mandolin or a ukelele. Uke players would probably enjoy this banjo a lot. So it could certainly find its way into a player's arsenal as a novelty instrument. For what it is, to me it's great value for the money. ... show more

    • Extremely disappointed
Size: 26 Inch
Couldn’t wait to get a smaller banjo to hit the road with as a truck driver. My full size one was taking too much room. This banjo arrived in great shape, tuned up easily, but OMG!!!!!!! as long as I don’t fret any notes it sounds great in an open G strum. Once you start hitting frets, it sounds like absolute Hell. Its almost like the frets aren’t in the correct positions. Incredibly disappointed. I was really looking forward to playing this. Its worse because I’m only home occasionally, and being Prime takes 4-5 days for some reason, I can’t even replace it for another couple of weeks. The holes where the strings go in do not line up at the bridge. Its almost as if the piece is for a different instrument. Maybe a 6 string Guitar/Ukulele. The neck may be twisted, but I can’t be sure. Intonation is correct for the 5th G, 4th G, and 1st D, but the center strings are nearly a full step off, so adjusting the truss will not help. I’m totally gun shy now about ordering any stringed musical instrument from Amazon. I’m not a professional musician by any means, but the tuning is so off, that it’ll frustrate the heck out of a beginner that is trying to learn and can’t get songs to sound correctly, I can’t stress enough how disheartened and disappointed I am. Its a beautiful looking instrument, and I’m sad to have to return it. ... show more
