So I'm on this website all the time because I lost all my friends. I chose my uke over them. just kiddddddding. just have free time at work!

but i want to get a banjo uke. the ones i saw online were way to expensive. they were either really old ones for $100 bucks or customized ones for $1000. eeeeeeeeek. anyone know of a good banjo uke for $100-200 ?

and what sound quality does a banjo uke offer? the only thing i concluded was that it plays louder... of course it sounds slightly different as well.
to be honest i just want to get one so that when i play it my friends laugh at me. hahahaha.
 
anddddddd check out this website as a sample: http://www.banjoteacher.com/GoldToneBanjos/indexBanjoLele's.htm
it lists all these things... and i have no clue what i should look for in a banjouke. i want something similar to a soprano uke!
for all i know i'm not even making sense.
