Gold Tone BG-Mini Bluegrass Mini Banjo

Gold Tone BG-Mini: Bluegrass Mini Banjo with Case 

The Gold Tone BG-Mini is a meticulously crafted scaled-down Bluegrass banjo designed for young learners, traveling musicians, or anyone seeking a compact, stage-ready instrument. Built with a maple neck and rim, and topped with a rolled brass tone ring, it mirrors the professional features of Gold Tone’s full-sized BG-150F in a travel-friendly 19-3/4" scale. The one-piece cast flange, vintage-style armrest, and high-gloss finish combine to create both durability and visual appeal.

Despite its smaller size, the BG-Mini delivers authentic Bluegrass tone with bright trebles, clear midrange, and responsive projection. Its 8" Remo LC frosted head and 10" mahogany resonator ensure that each note rings true, while the bone nut and planetary tuners maintain stable intonation. The tone improves over time, offering richer harmonics and dynamic resonance as the banjo is played.

Perfect for younger players, travelers, or adults wanting a high-quality mini banjo, the BG-Mini is ideal for teaching, stage use, or as a specialty instrument. Its comfortable short scale length and professional setup make it accessible for beginners while remaining satisfying for intermediate players seeking portability without sacrificing sound.
