Serviceable It’s hard to know how many stars to give. There are some things I like. Others, I don’t. It meets a need and I’m inclined to keep it.The Kala Banjo Uke sounds better, but costs twice as much. The Kmise banjo ukes are only 2/3 the price of this Muke, but I don’t have any experience with them.I opted to purchase this one because of the Fiberskyn head that appears in the pictures. It has a Fberskyn top surface but has a mylar back making it feel more like a drum head…
