Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At two pounds, the Plucky 5-String is built as a travel banjo for carrying on the trail or keeping close at home. Its neck width is similar to a full-size banjo, while the low string action is intended to make fingering and playing easier. It is set up at Gold Tone’s Florida factory and can be tuned to open C or open D. A carrying bag is included.
Strong match
Who this is for

- Players using open C or open D tunings on a compact travel banjo.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
