I like the bic pen cap-o. However when playing clawhammer the thumb action on the fifth string can occasionally cause the cap-o to go thwing out of place. Excellent on the spot/lowdough choice. Everybody should have several.

size medium. Finally no more fake glue on fingernails. No more bending and figiting a bluegrass pick to sort of work. This pick is the best for clawhammer. If you know of anything better or equal tell me. I love this pick even more nearly a year later. If I lost my pick and couldn't get another I might (choke) switch to three finger.

It's a twelve inch tubaphone with an amber head. Good clean sound

ONE POUND FOUR OUNCES This is the best option I've seen for a trail-worthy instrument. Some improvements and changes need to be made for reliable playability. So far so good. I give it a thumb-up.

Its a little high with an echo. a fiberskin or amber head might fix it. those are unavailable (to my knowledge) in the 8" size. I would like to see a 10" pot on this neck (move bridge away from edge toward center). volume is good in car. I use it for traveling.

It is not light enough for backpacking. The size is good for playing in the car. If stolen or lost or broken I would replace it with another 20" scale but with a 10-11" pot. Maybe another cc-mini. I like this banjo.

so so for a small banjo. two and a half months later after sitting unplayed in the closet the head sank. (this head is not adjustable) sounds out of tune when it's in tune. higher tunings help but do not remedy situation.
