The Gold Tone openback Banjolele was our first banjo-uke. We designed it for ukulele players that want more of that sweet uke tone blended with the pop and snap of the banjo. The one-piece flange and deep-wall resonator pump the sound forward toward your audience and the arch-top tone ring is perfect for executing the banjo-uke techniques made famous by the legendary British movie and music hall sensation, George Formby.
