A year or so back, a visitor from the US came to what was then my regular session in a local pub. He was here for a few weeks to see relatives. He had a Tranjo and he was kind enough to let me try it out a few times.

I would echo exactly what the owner from Banjo Hangout has said. It is a little quieter that a usual full sized banjo, it is a very clever design with good build quality. The action was comfortable and the sound was great for accompanying singing. It did get a little drowned out when everyone was singing and playing together. He was very interested in my little 9amp battery powered amp that I use on my dulcimer, for that very reason. The owner was someone who travelled a lot and found the Tranjo to be perfect for that purpose.

Geoff - I think a banjo for a transvestite would be a Trannie-jo. And what colour is your frock?
