Thread Name: Travel Banjos?
Subject: Travel Banjos?
I'm thinking of purchasing a travel banjo. It's now even more uncertain whether my full-size vintage banjo can be carried into the cabin for domestic air travel and if I'm flying overseas there are new regulations with regard to rain forest woods which raise questions about even vintage banjos. Anyway my current favorite is a fold-up banjo made by Sloan Banjos, model Jo2Go: click here for info and PIX

It's pricey but seems to meet my criteria for a concert quality banjo. And unlike the Tranjo Express it actually looks like a banjo. I have been leading a discussion of travel banjos at Banjo Hangout.

Anyone here had any experience with Sloan Banjos?

Anyone here have alternative travel banjo suggestions?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
