Not violin related but, I own a vangoa banjo. The material is cheap to save costs but the fretboard is accurate. It plays okay, sounds half decent and doesnt get out of tune easily. When most "entry level" banjo cost +$500CAD, my $200 Vangoa banjo is just what I needed to get started on my banjo jorney. Fyi My gig bag ripped apart on a 15 min walk. And little metal parts like screws tend to get stripped easily. The piezo pickup they included worked well. After I purchased a nicer instrument, I just use my vangoa as a outdoor/ beater instrument. I have dropped it and banged it around and thrown it in my trunk, in a soft case, with landscaping tools. I have also played it outside in a misty rain and played it around a bon fire in middle of winter. It has held up just fine so far.
Great video :) Thanks
I am so glad you posted another video.
Thank you! Great review. + LOL at "Now I'm going to have to not hate this."
