Possibly the world's only child-sized fully functional bluegrass banjo and it is way cool. With a two-way adjustable truss rod, a bone nut, planetary-style tuners and a geared fifth string peg, this is a lot of quality for not a lot of money, and it is a very playable novelty banjo. It has an eight-inch head stretched across a modified, hoop-style 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 it's played in open position (no capo) it feels as if you were capoing at the fifth fret of a "normal" banjo.
