The kind folks at Vangoa really liked my unboxing and demo of their mini 28 inch Banjo so they sent me this full size open back to play.

I have to say these two new banjos are very nicely made.
This one like the mini is all maple with beautiful pearloid tuners ( specs say white jade) as well as a padded gig bag and a goodie bag full of accessories including a tuner and a really nice strap.
Come with me on this journey as I unbox and discover different "issues" ( one my fault) and how I was able to correct it.
I also show how to correctly place the bridge/ intonate and tune.
I play some songs strummed using the banjo chords I've learned as well as some picked songs with the fingers rolls and pinches that I have learned.
I am a novice banjo player but everytime I am sent one it makes me want to learn. These last two in particular. I gave the other two full size ones away to folks I know who expressed an interest and I sold the two mini banjos but these two are keepers as they truly are nice instruments.
