Travel Banjos

[banjosam]

Hi ALL

I am looking to buy a travel banjo that I can take away with me on Holiday and one small enough to take on a plane as hand luggage or fit into a large suit case.

I was just wondering if any of you had any tips or advice on buying one and also whether travel banjo are still the same standard G tuning as the normal size 5-string banjos

any help on this as always will be greatly appreciated. ;D

Thanks,
BanjoSam
