Honolua Banjolele

A banjolele is exactly what it sounds like: ukulele size and tuning, with a banjo's tensioned drum head where the wooden top would be. Strum one chord and you get that bright, percussive snap that cuts straight through a room. It's the sound of 1920s dance halls and music hall records, and it hasn't lost any of its charm in the hundred years since. Everything your hands already know transfers over. Same tuning, same chord shapes, same size. There's no learning curve. The chords you played on your uke last night sound completely different on this, and that's the whole point. In a circle of wooden ukuleles, the banjolele is the one everyone hears first and asks about after. The drum head gives it volume and punch that a wooden top can't produce, and a solid rosewood fingerboard keeps the left hand feeling like home. Checked and adjusted in Calgary before it ships, like everything we sell. We build these in small runs. If your collection needs the one instrument that gets a grin every single time it comes out of the case, this is it. ﹢ Full Specs Body Shape - Open Back Banjolele Head - Remo Rim - Maple Neck - Maple Fretboard - Solid Rosewood Bridge - Maple and Ebony Nut - Bone Nut Width - 35mm Binding - ABS Finish - Open Pore Tuning Heads - Gold Open Gear Tuning Buttons - Cream Fretboard Inlays - White Dots; Black Side Dots Strings - Aquila Scale Length - 394mm Gig Bag - 5mm Padded with Embroidered Logo, Included
