General

If you're itching for a banjo sound and are already used to playing the ukulele, but your fingers are (still) too small for a banjo, Gold Tone have a great solution: the BU-1 Banjolele; a hybrid instrument with the body of a banjo and the neck of a uke. The result is an instrument with an 8-inch pot and a neck with a 395mm scale length, that even comes complete with a padded gig bag with a large accessory compartment.

The BU-1 Banjolele

The BU-1 Banjolele has been given an open-back construction and a maple pot which, together, shape a friendly, not-too-bright tone that's perfect for acoustic sets. The sound is then enhanced by the pre-installed 8-inch Remo Fiberskyn, an extremely durable artificial animal skin with a warm character. Inside the maple pot, you'll even find something that you don't come across quickly in this price range: a Hot Dot pickup to amplify your new sound.

Vlot bestelproces.
Banjolele goed verpakt en perfect in orde geleverd.
Goed afgesteld, stemmen en onmiddellijk bespeelbaar.
2 dagen vroeger geleverd dan gevraagd. Gelukkig was ik nog thuis om de banjolele in ontvangst te nemen.

Cet instrument correspond bien avec mes attentes. La qualité est bonne, le son aussi. La marque réputée qui fait un instrument avec micro à ce prix, il n'y a pas mieux (à moins qu'on souhaite dépenser plus).
