    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).

    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.

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 !!
