The "Tickle Me" Banjo is designed to be an inexpensive toy, not a fussy kid-sized instrument or an obnoxious battery-powered annoyance. Your child won't feel that she needs to learn notes, chords, and fingering. She can just play and explore. And, it's amazing what they come up with when the're improvising. Our son Riley was 4 when we gave him his banjo and it's been a regular part of our lives ever since. Lightweight wood construction features nylon strings. A true classic from times past still being made in the USA.
