Great group, I'm looking for one! I have a Plucky by GoldTone but it is certainly no ideal.

	Kstevensmd says: 1/29/2011 4:08:41 AM Well, first of all I would like something small enought so I could use it as carry on airplane with no questions asked. 5 string, one piece with a resonator and standard width neck. Obviously, it will had to be shorter with fewer frets and would ahve to be tuned to a different key due to shortened length. I've seen some tenor banjos that might work, but I need strings of courese. I don't like way the Tranjo looks, but it is a really great idea. I'm thinking about a 5 string ukelele if such a thing exists!
	Kstevensmd says: 1/29/2011 4:12:24 AM excuse the typos, could not find a way to edit the once I posted it! "ahve" should be "have" "but I need 5 strings of course" "courese" should be "course" We'll have to ask Eric to add an edit feature!
