Good afternoon Maria ❤. Thanks so much for sharing your new instrument with us all. Very cool 😎! I wish you a terrific Holiday weekend 🍾💥❤❤. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
The neat thing is that it can cover any Guitar sheet music. The body is a bit deeper than a regular 5 string Banjo to help the low notes speak more clearly.
Fernando Sor's Guitar music works great on 6 String Banjo as it uses the same tuning as a Guitar, it takes standard acoustic or electric steel guitar strings.
@@MariaCalfaDePaul Johnny St Cyr played 6 string Banjo w/ Louis Armstrong & if you listen to some of his recordings like this one:. The 6 String Banjo goes back to the 1920s & 30s before we had amplification where Guitarists had to compete w/ those Blazing loud Horns. The 6 string Banjo is louder than an average Acoustic Guitar because the Drum Head is acting like a Really loud Amplifier.
@@MariaCalfaDePaul That other Vangoa was the 6 string Mini Banjo & it's actually a Banjitalele (Banjo/Guitalele Hybrid) or Banjo-Requinto because it's tuned like a Requinto or a Guitar w/ a Capo on the 5th Fret at High A Standard Tuning (A, D, G, C, E, A).
Nice. Covid was good for some things like that right ? And I bet you can take up guitar next. My Uke lessons on zoom and learning from RUclips helped me in my guitar journey and I started with guitar. Thanks for watching and happy new year !
@@ilovecatsandsynths9702 I know but I don’t think that’s right. Cause that lele part comes from ukulele lol. But funny that I didn’t pick it up at first ha ha
@@MariaCalfaDePaul I see one model called a “Banjitar” on their website. Oddly I didn’t see this particular model listed. Maybe they used the wrong box, but then it probably wouldn’t have fit. lol. Maybe the box is mislabeled.
I love the background with the fire video. Very cozy place to unbox a banjo. I really like that finish with the dark spots. It's funny that you thought it was a 5-string until setting the bridge.😂I've never played a 6-string banjo but it should be pretty natural due to the tuning. Fleetwood Mac on a banjo sounds great BTW. I actually did a jug band cover of that song back in Dec of 2020. LOL. Great minds.
Ha I would love to watch that one. Is it on your channel. And yes we seem to have that connection!! Thanks so much for watching. I know I was telling my husband and he’s like “can’t you do it over” and I said “nope. It’s an unboxing. Lol “. Well there was humor in this video too ha ha. Love my fake fireplace. One day I hope I have a real one again !! Thanks for watching and happy new year !!

@@MariaCalfaDePaul Absolutely my pleasure Maria 😊❤

Ah that’s interesting about the body depth!!

Thanks I will have to look for it. Thank you !
@@MariaCalfaDePaul All the music you know on Classical Guitar works great on 6 string Banjo.
Johnny St Cyr played one of these
Wow I will have to look him up. Thank you

I hope you got the other Vangoa Unboxed in a new video because Vangoas are my favorite.
Funny you mention it. I should be releasing it tomorrow or Monday !!
@@MariaCalfaDePaul Great idea, I love how Vangoa uses the Bass Clef.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 yes me too!!

@@RockStarOscarStern634 yes it took me some time to realize that the tuning was wrong that they said on the strings
Fantastic Christmas gift… I want to learn the guitar next , I tough myself the ukulele over Covid. Happy new year .

@@MariaCalfaDePaul Yes it is. Search for "dreams on jug band instruments" or probably just "dreams". Happy New Year to you and yours. 🥳
