The Plucky is a lightweight and compact 5-string travel banjo, weighing only 2.6 lbs. Designed as a true backpacker’s companion, it offers surprising versatility despite its size. Tunable to open C (CGCEG), open D (DADF#A), or even standard G (GDGBD) with alternate string gauges, the Plucky allows you to explore multiple tunings.
Though small, it is not a toy—the neck width mirrors that of a full-size banjo, ensuring comfortable fingering. Low string action provides effortless playability, making it an excellent option for young learners, travelers, or anyone who wants a portable banjo for relaxed playing. Each unit is fully set up at the Gold Tone factory in Florida, ensuring reliable performance right out of the box. A gig bag is included. Also available in a left-handed version.
