UBJ1 Banjolele

The Barnes and Mullins UBJ1 Banjo-lele is a charming instrument. Made in the tradition of many banjo-ukes before it, the UBJ1 is scaled and strung as a Ukulele. The result is unmistakably ‘Ukulele Banjo’ in both tone, feel and appearance.

Who is this banjo-ukulele for?

Tuned and strung in the same way a ukulele, this banjo-uke makes for a perfect cross-over instrument for uke players wanting to explore the sound and feel of playing the banjo. The resonator design means this banjo sounds naturally loud and bright and is a great choice for bluegrass styles where the banjo sits at the forefront of the overall sound.
