BJU-15Pro Banjo Ukulele : Something all Forby fans should have!

10 years ago

This is a great instrument to play and can fill a room with very little amplification. In fact, I did a gig last night and didn't need any amplification at all.

This is a heavy instrument and therefore I would recommend either playing it sitting down or investing in a suitable strap. Unfortunately this does not come with any brackets so these would need to be added manually.

Secondly, you'd best buy an extra set of strings. Ukulele strings are held at the bridge using a simple knot made with an additional wrap-around to double the size of said knot. However Mr. Benton must not have had the time to do this. Upon inspection I realised that there is not much room to improve matters on the strings in place. Therefore, the only solution available until Mr. Benton improves his knots is to order a new set of strings.

Overall this is a good instrument with a good sound. With the above issues taken into consideration you will not encounter any issues.
