Possibly the worlds only child-sized fully functional bluegrass banjo, the bluegrass mini (BG-MINI) shares many Quality similarities to our most popular Full size bluegrass banjo, the bg-250f. With a two-way adjustable truss rod, a bone nut, Planetary tuners, a geared fifth string peg, and a complete setup at the Gold Tone factory in Florida, this is a very playable novelty banjo. It has an 8” head stretched across a solid brass tone ring, and puts out a satisfactory tone and volume. Its scale length is 19-3/4 inches and tunes up to the key of C with standard gauge strings, so when played in its open position (No capo) it feels and sounds as if a capo is used at the Fifth fret of a full size banjo. If you are playing with others and need to tune to standard G, the string gauges may be changed to the following: . 016, . 034, . 024, . 019, . 016.
