Rover RB-45P Plectrum Resonator 4 String Banjo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This 4 string banjo was made in China. I thought I was getting an American made model.It`s pretty to look at but cheep strings & the bridge was missing when I receive it. Also the fret dividers have a sharp feel as you run your hand up & down the neck. Too bad because it was made with somewhat quality materials. I sent this item back. buyer beware.

Rover RB-35T Tenor Resonator 4 String Banjo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just plain awful sound. Not to mention one of the attachments for the resonator was bouncing around inside when it arrived. Cheap Chinese junk. I returned it and bought a Gold Tone TS-250, also made in China, but far better quality and sound. Don't waste your time and money on a cheap banjo. Spend at least $500 and get something that will not frustrate you and you end sitting it in a corner allowing it to collect dust.

Luna Guitars Celtic 5-String Banjo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I LOVE this banjo! I didn't want any of the traditional starter banjos because either they are rather bland looking or don't even have a resonator. This banjo has a resonator, and looks amazing. The Celtic knot design is beautiful and helps me represent my Irish heritage. The only problems are that the drum-head gets fingerprinted easily and that the rim is plywood, but for a banjo that looks like this, and has such a nice sound, it is worth the sacrifice. Also, you DO NOT need to buy a traditional cradle style banjo strap (though it feels much more secure), as this banjo is equipped to be compatible with a regular guitar strap. All in all, a good buy :)

Voyage-Air Transit Series VAOM-02 Folding Orchestra Model Acoustic Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We tried out several smaller travel guitars at local guitar shops. We searched for several other online. Martin Backpacker, Mini Taylor, Mini Martin, Washburn Rover all sounded good for their size, but really cannot be compared to any full size guitar. If you are basically strumming, then those smaller travel guitars are fine. You can even buy them on E-bay for cheap. If you are doing some more intricate playing, then a full size guitar is a minimum. This Voyage-Air line of guitars fits that need.
This model is the laminate-top model. The least expensive too. Paid 355 bucks here on Amazon with free shipping. We decided that since it is primarily for travel, the laminate would withstand the abuse of travel better than a solid-top. That was confirmed after reading advice from guitar experts.
When locked into position the neck is secure, and it has the full sound of a regular guitar... not the sound of the smaller travel ones. The screw which secures the neck to the base does protrude a bit and you do feel it when your hand slides down toward the body of the guitar. It's no high-end Martin or Taylor, but that is not the right comparison.
The backpack is high quality and custom fit. I'm sure it will fit in the airplane overhead bins as we had hoped. The backpack even has a padded area to fit a notebook computer.
Now my teenage son is excited to be able to bring a full size guitar on our upcoming vacations. I'll try to get him to post a video review.
Voyage-Air has raised the bar with travel guitars.
Update 5/20/11:
Traveled to central america with this guitar. He loved having a full size guitar on our vacation. Fit into all the overhead airline bins easily. No problems with the humidity of central america. Easy to carry around compared to a regular guitar.
