Product Description

Get the best of both worlds with Gold Tone's BU-1 Banjo Ukulele. With the compact size and playability of a ukulele combined with banjo-style construction for a tighter, more direct tone, the Banjo Ukulele has a unique sound of its own. With onboard electronics the BU-1 is stage-ready right out of the box and comes with a padded gig bag to keep it protected when you're out and about.

A maple rim paired with a Remo 8" fiberskyn head not only gives it a banjo look, it also adds a distinct banjo flavour to the tone. This is an open back instrument which mellows the tone a little bit and makes it even lighter. The BU-1 features a factory-installed transducer pickup so you can immediately start amplifying your sound for gigs or plugging in to recording devices.
