  • The kind folks at Vangoa Sent me two instruments. For the first 10 minutes of this video I thought they were regular 5 string banjos. So there is some humorous moments as well as the unboxing of the first of the two.
    This one is a full size 39 inch Banjo Guitar. Some folks call them Banjitar
    Here is the link. (I am not an affiliate and make no money if you buy this but since they sent it to me I will put a link if you are interested )

    Anyway you slice it they are cool fun.
    Let me know what you think of the video
    also you can purchase the instruments here
    and full disclosure. Vangoa did not pay me for the video and only asked that make a video. They had no say in what I said and did not see the video until it was published.
    I hope you enjoy the video If you like my music and videos please like subscribe, share and comment. It is very much appreciated Also I have started to add music to my Spotify account so if you can please head over there and put me on some of your playlists. My 3 albums of NA flute music can be very relaxing!! but I have some new ambient tracks I'm uploading which include tongue drum , synths guitars and the like!

    Thank you and be safe,

    The neat thing is that it can cover any Guitar sheet music. The body is a bit deeper than a regular 5 string Banjo to help the low notes speak more clearly.

      Nice. Covid was good for some things like that right ? And I bet you can take up guitar next. My Uke lessons on zoom and learning from CZcams helped me in my guitar journey and I started with guitar. Thanks for watching and happy new year !

      @@MariaCalfaDePaul I see one model called a “Banjitar” on their website. Oddly I didn’t see this particular model listed. Maybe they used the wrong box, but then it probably wouldn’t have fit. lol. Maybe the box is mislabeled.

    I love the background with the fire video. Very cozy place to unbox a banjo. I really like that finish with the dark spots. It's funny that you thought it was a 5-string until setting the bridge.😂I've never played a 6-string banjo but it should be pretty natural due to the tuning. Fleetwood Mac on a banjo sounds great BTW. I actually did a jug band cover of that song back in Dec of 2020. LOL. Great minds.

      Ha I would love to watch that one. Is it on your channel. And yes we seem to have that connection!! Thanks so much for watching. I know I was telling my husband and he’s like “can’t you do it over” and I said “nope. It’s an unboxing. Lol “. Well there was humor in this video too ha ha. Love my fake fireplace. One day I hope I have a real one again !! Thanks for watching and happy new year !!

    Fernando Sor's Guitar music works great on 6 String Banjo as it uses the same tuning as a Guitar, it takes standard acoustic or electric steel guitar strings.

      @@MariaCalfaDePaul Johnny St Cyr played 6 string Banjo w/ Louis Armstrong & if you listen to some of his recordings like this one:. The 6 String Banjo goes back to the 1920s & 30s before we had amplification where Guitarists had to compete w/ those Blazing loud Horns. The 6 string Banjo is louder than an average Acoustic Guitar because the Drum Head is acting like a Really loud Amplifier.
