Product information

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.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Gold Tone BU-1 Banjolele with Pickup and Bag

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.

Gold Tone BU-1 Banjolele with Pickup and Bag

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).
