    • Sounds great, looks great
Size: 26 Inch
This banjo is great, but it’s a bit small for me as a newbe, I wish I had gotten the full size to learn on. Really good quality, the tuner works great, very nice strap, the thumb pick is great, the finger picks seem flimsy metal, but what do I know I’m a newbe.

    • Seems like a good choice for a beginner
Admittedly, I am still learning to play banjo; a more experienced player might know better. But this seems perfect for a beginner like me. First, the kit comes with everything you would need to get started (well, except lessons. But you're on the internet--go find some!). The banjo was carefully packed and arrived in pristine condition. I did have to tighten the bolts on the resonator and placing the bridge was a bit tricky (again, I'm new to this) but this was basically ready to play right out of the box. Six weeks or so later and I am thrilled I chose to learn banjo and bought this one for my first. It sounds great (even my friend who has played guitar for decades says so), looks great, and I love playing it! My one small complaint is that the two nuts/clips for the strap have both come loose at different times, meaning I had to completely remove the resonator and retighten them. I wish those bolts were a little longer. So now I have to obsessively check them to make sure they're still tight. ... show more

    • 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

    • Vangoa Mini 5-String Banjo
Size: 26 Inch
I decided on the Vangoa because I love the resonance of mahogany. A Gold Tone Plucky was just more than I wanted to spend, plus I have a Ob 250-At that I love. The Vangoa is very nicely constructed and easy to setup, The sound it produces is very nice. Of course not as full with the volume of a full sized 5-string, but nice and clean. I wish it had better tuners, but for the price I can"t complain. My only complaint was the tailpiece, but I had read about it. Replaced it with a no knot I had. Would suggest if you buy spend about $20 for a no knot tailpiece. Enjoy, ... show more

    • Value for money and a perfect size for a child's starter banjo
Size: 26 Inch
I'm an advanced banjo player and have owned and played many banjos over the decades. I bought the Vangoa mini because my grandsons, age 8 and 5, have expressed a desire to play but aren't big enough to play my full-sized banjos. In other words, this is to be a starter banjo for these children, and as such it seems to me to be ideal. The banjo arrived fully set up; just needed to be tuned to be fully playable. On line there is information about setting the bridge and adjusting the tension rod, but none of that was necessary. This instrument was ready to play out of the box. Some reviews indicate that purchasers were beginners who bought this as an adult starter instrument. It is NOT recommended for that purpose: the spacing on the strings is not ideal for adult-size fingers, especially for a novice player. An advanced player might want this as a novelty instrument, but I see it as best for a child, and for this price, WOW! I couldn't ask for more. The tone, by the way, is high pitched, plunky, and perfectly acceptable. I'm delighted with this purchase. Highly recommended for the purposes described above. ... show more

    • Good looking Banjo
New banjo player here. Right out of the box it was the beauty that surprised me. Loosened the strings just about one turn...stood up the bridge. Measured 13 and a smidge from the nut to the 12th fret, then made that same measurement from the 12th fret to the bridge and tuned the instrument. Ordered extra picks but not necessarily needed. This came with extra picks,shoulder strap adjusting tools and tuner. Very satisfied and very well worth the folding capital. ... show more

    • Beginner friendly

I bought this for teen son at Christmas 2023. It is a smaller build, however, the perfect size for children and adults. It comes with everything to be successful in learning to use. I highly recommend and would buy again if needed.
