BJU-15Pro Banjo Ukulele : Great banjolele for the price.

I’ve been playing the banjolele, Formby style for over ten years. This one caught my eye due to the price and other reviews that I head read. It are within a couple of days of the order being placed. I was very pleasantly surprised with how this looked in real life.The quality was really good, well made and beautifully finished. There were no rough fret ends and the neck was aligned very nicely. The open backed tuners worked as they should once the strings had settled. The sound with the plastic remo head wasn’t to my liking and so I replaced it with a calf skin vellum which transformed it, giving it a much warmer tone. This is a very loud instrument and one which projects really well due to the bowl back resonator. To be honest once you have it set up for your style of playing you really can’t go wrong. I gave it four stars as I felt that a better quality tuning peg would have been nice ,not that the ones supplied don’t do there job very well and I felt the remo head let it down on tone. That said both are relatively cheap fixes for a really great piece of kit. So all in all ,turned out nice again.
