For the past few years I been wanting a baritone banjo ukulele but have found the few out there to be either to expensive or not really what I as looking for.
Basically what I wanted was a tenor banjo with a ukulele scale and width neck.
So, I decided to buy an inexpensive tenor banjo and then make a new neck for it.
The tenor banjo was a Recording King Dirty 30s which provided the rim, head, and all the hardware. It cost $140. The neck I built out of spanish cedar and granadilo and it cost about $100 after the additional purchase of nut, frets, tuners, and hanger bolts. So for less than $300.00 I now have a Baritone Ukulele that's like Ive been wanting.
Below are some pictures of the completed uke.
