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

WORTH THE PRICE – A FIVE STAR Bargain! Great instrument for the price. Worth Five Stars! The shipping took over 6 weeks and was incomplete – did not come with advertised bag and tuner. Had to contact Amazon – but response was good and timely. Got a bag within a reasonable time and the tuner about two weeks after the banjo was delivered. I was not that upset as it seemed that everyone was trying to make it right.Had to laugh that I was sent an email to track the turner – but all the information was in Chinese and I could…
Quality Instrument! Cant beat the price! I love this banjo ukulele! I play concert, tenor, and baritone, and it is great to receive such a unique sounding instrument in the mail and know how to play it right away, even if you be never played one before. This is a great instrument for a ukulele player to add to their collection. I have tried the oscar schmidt version, and it is okay, I think the oscar is heavier though, but nothing to note about why one should pay double for the oscar schmidt version. You can’t beat the price of this…
I read the reviews and was skeptical about the positive remarks from a low-priced, Chinese Banjolele. Once I got it, it was as described and it lived up to the reviews. For $90, this little Banjolele is pretty well made, sounds great and has good playability. But, I do want to point out some things that you should know.To get the best tone, you will need to replace the strings and take off the resonator panel. For $6, you can replace the stock strings with a nice set and it…
