Very Special Gourd Banjo Uke on the way

adam2180 · Jan 9, 2011

I have a very special Gourd banjo uke on its way to me from Jeff Menzies, Its a Tenor Scale Gourd Banjo uke. Jeff is a well known banjo maker and artist who specializes in gourd and tackhead banjos. I am lucky to be getting the first banjo uke he has made. Its being finished today. I have never been as excited about a new instrument as I am about this one. Jeff's instruments are truly playable art.

Are ya gonna ask him to number it, and sign it? That would be really cooler even..

All of Jeffs banjos have serial numbers and his brand.

Thanks so much. I like gourds almost as much as I like ukuleles!

adam2180 · Jan 21, 2011

After a few days with it, I have decided it the coolest thing in the history of the world.

mds725 · Jan 21, 2011

Very nice, distinctive sound. It sounds less twangy than a conventional banjo ukulele and less plinky than a conventional ukulele. And the cool factor is off the charts.

I believe Jeff has one almost done that doesn't have anyones name on it yet. Someone should snatch it up!
