Travel & Mini Banjos
Travel and mini banjos pack the sound of a full banjo into a smaller, lighter body, with scales typically around 19 to 21 inches. They’re built for the road, for practice on the couch, and for younger or smaller players who want an easier reach.
Most keep the standard five-string layout, so technique carries straight over from a full-size banjo. Browse our travel and mini banjos below.

A smaller banjo, the same five strings
A travel or mini banjo has a smaller body and a shorter neck than a full-size banjo, with scales typically around 19 to 21 inches. Most keep the standard five-string layout, so the chords and rolls you learn carry straight over to any banjo. They suit travel, practice on the couch, and younger or smaller players who want an easier reach.
Open back or resonator
Most minis here are open backs, from the composite AC-Traveler and AC-Mini to the wooden CC-Mini and the Plucky Traveler, plus the Deering Goodtime Parlor. The Gold Tone BG-Mini adds a resonator for bluegrass volume. The Plucky Traveler, CC-Mini and BG-Mini also come in left-handed versions.
