Barnes & Mullins Banjo Ukulele Open Back Soprano

Overview

The Barnes and Mullins UBJ2 Banjo-lele is a characterful little instrument. Made in the old-time tradition of many open back banjoukes before it, the UBJ2 is scaled and strung as a Ukulele. Although not as loud as its resonator-equipped sibling - the UBJ1 - the tone produced is sweet and mellow.

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.
