Gold ToneAC-Traveler Travel-Scale Banjo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A compact five-string banjo built around an A-scale short neck. The AC-Traveler uses a composite resonator and is described as lightweight for taking music beyond the usual practice space, including camping or beach trips. It arrives with a gig bag for transport. Its open-C tuning sits a fourth above standard open G, while retaining the banjo chord shapes and licks described for that tuning relationship. It is also presented as an option for a child to play.
