Banjo Ukulele Concert Size 23 Inch With Bag Tuner Strap Strings Pickup Picks Ruler Wrench Bridge
While it isn’t known who first conceived the idea of a banjo ukulele,but we all know The banjo-ukulele is a four-stringed musical instrument with a small banjo-type body and a fretted ukulele neck,a mix between a Ukulele and a Banjo.
The instrument achieved its greatest popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, and combines the small scale, tuning, and playing style of a ukulele with the construction and distinctive tone of a banjo, hence the name.Its development was pushed by the need for vaudeville performers to have an instrument that could be played with the ease of the ukulele, but with more volume,designed it for those ukulele players who want more of that sweet ukulele tone blended with the pop and snap of the banjo.
Tightening or loosening the drum head, through adjusting the tension hooks fitted around the outside of the drum results in a change in tone.
The head typically has a firm tension. Tightening it so that it is rock hard to the touch gives a bright sound with good note distinction, but less bass response. Loosening it so it is softer, yet still tight enough to keep the bridge in place with the tension of the strings, results in a warmer, less bright sound.The bridge floats on the head and is held in place by the tension of the strings.v Back and Side:Sapele

Solid Build and Company is Responsive! Bought the banjolele just to have the variety of sound as I learn the ukulele. This was a great deal with some positive video reviews on line so I took a chance and am very happy that I did. While I don’t have another banjolele to compare this to, I can say that it feels solid in the hands and I like the ready-to-play complete package that it is bundled with.Impressively, I received to an email from them after purchase that seemed like a blanket email just checking in and inviting…
Nice Quality This is my third Kmise Uke and I have been pleased with them all. Especially considering the price. I wanted a banjolele but as it was going to be a secondary instrument I didn’t want to spend a lot on it. My previous experience with Kmise and the fact it was on a flash sale made this one very attractive. The instrument delivered was as expected and nicely done. It played well out of the box. Like all nylon stringed instruments it will take a while before it holds tune well. And you…
I’m glad I purchased this.
