**SOLD**I wanted to try a banjo uke and this on happened to come my way when I asked for it. It's fun to play and I'm glad I got to try it but I've found that the banjo sound just isn't for me.
This is a well made banjo uke by Aaron Keim (now making Mya Moe ukes) in a cool green dye. It's quite punchy and loud, no problems being heard with this little cannon. Placing a polishing cloth between the head and the dowel stick made it more friendly IMO. It's in nice overall condition and will last the next owner a lifetime. The tuners are Gotoh banjo style and they work very well. The date on the label states 2009 but it's crossed out and has "10" written in before it so I'm not sure what that's all about. Comes with a nice hardshell case.

Thanks!

Played one of these. Sounds amazing, built like an expensive bank vault. A real bargain. If I was more into them............
 
Certainly the "Gold Standard" for a modern-made banjo uke. Should be a family heirloom until the end of time!!!!! For somebody anyway. :mraz:
 
A day late leave me a dollar short:( 2 uke purchases in a week would be too hard to justify to my better half.

I was shopping for a banjo uke 2 weeks ago, but the few vintage ones I found had necks I did not like. I was wishing I could find a quality, USA made new one. Your's looks like a beaut. Good look!
