Magic fluke unveils banjo ukulele

Awesome Mike. Lots of people been waiting for this. Bet you're having a ball there. :) Thanks for the info...can't wait to see pics...and colorful designs?????? :drool:
 
Hello UAS?

Hell, yeah!

Thanks Mike, I'm looking forward to it.

:uhoh:
 
woahhhhhhh!!!!
 
Whoooaaaaaaa! Love it! :drool:
 
Sounds good, looks good. Is the head a skin and how is it held in tension? Looks like a Remo skin and maybe a Grover bridge...where are the hooks?

Looks like the head and the hoop are basically a Remo PTS series hand drum. The heads are pre-tensioned pretty tight and non-adjustable. Probably a fiberskyn head, plastic but made to look like a skin head.
 
Fiberskin is nice stuff - I have it on a djembe. I suppose that means if it ever goes loose it would take a new pre-tensioned head . Small enough cost I guess.


Edit: AHA! Here's Jim Beloff on video with it from another UU Friend:

That's a nice sounding and nice looking banjo uke.
 
Pretty cool! I like the open back and the price seems reasonable.
When they start making the concert neck with a plastic fretboard I'll probably need to get one.

Thanks for the videos.
 
I really like the looks of those. Perhaps there will be one in my future ;)
 
A banjolele? I've never heard of one before (pardon my noobness haha). Now, I feel like I must own one :drool: :iwant:
 
I love it - love the minimalist look - sorry trad banjo lovers - I play an Ozark banjolele, and I love it, but the idea of a simple banjo without tensioners and a fluke head - well, droooooool!
