Handmade Maple Banjo Ukulele Banjolele For Sale

Banjolele

Used - Good Condition

If you\'ve never heard of one before, well now you have...this is a banjo ukulele (also know simply as the banjolele). The banjo uke achieved its greatest popularity in the 1920s and \'30s, and combines the small scale, tuning, and playing style of a ukulele with the construction and distinctive tone of a banjo. Its development was pushed by the need for vaudeville performers to have an instrument that played with the ease of the ukulele, but with more volume. Speaking of volume, this handmade banjo uke we have listed here projects its sound quite immensely and impressively. The sunburst finish on the maple back, sides, and neck, along with the cosmetic blemishes, give this banjo uke a really neat vintage-like, old world appearance. And before dismissing the banjo ukulele\'s relevance, Queen member Brian May used a banjolele in the song \"Bring Back That Leroy Brown\" and George Harrison favored the instrument in his later years, using it in several recordings such as on his song \"Any Road\". Make this cool looking banjo uke apart of your signature sound today!
