New Mainland Banjo-Uke

Looks like a winner. Looks great.
 
Oh yeah - I want one of those!

I never really had a desire for a banjo uke but that sure is pretty. Just may have to con... sid...er..... No, must repeat to myself, "I don't need one, I don't need one, I don't need one...." but then I may accidentally end up with two.
 
Glad you got one that you like Mike. Can't wait to play it. PLease keep us informed when you get them in your shop. I would love to come by and play one.
 
what kind of a tone ring does it have? A brass ring or just plain wood?
 
Looks and sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
 
You've got my attention.

Any idea of price point? (I might hold out for a concert though)
And are friction tuners a potential option?

here is a quote from the description of the video Hoosierhiver posted

"This is the proto-type of our new banjo uke available this winter.
22 inches long. weighing in at a mere 1.6 lbs.!
Will be available with your choice of either sealed geared tuners or friction pegs.
Estimated cost $285 retail."
 
Sweet! That is beautiful. Would love to have one of these!
 
Will it be available to UK stockists? Otherwise I'll be charged another bomb via customs. :(
 
Aloha Mike,
That looks awesome, thanks for sharing...BTW how does it play?? Like a ukulele or twang like a banjo.....
and the tuning???Banjo or uke... Much Mahalo's MM Stan...."Keep strumming them strings....
 
I'm going to start saving up now!
 
You really need to be able to get the back off it. It looks sealed to me . Shame.
