For the last 12 months I have been teaching our two eldest grandsons,aged 10 and 6, on the soprano uke and great fun it is too. Recently the 6 year old has been picking up my Gold Tone Little Gem banjo uke and making a reasonable job of it for his age. Now it is that time of year and he has said he would like a banjo uke for Christmas !! All in favour but we are just wondering which one,I think the Little Gem may not be quite the thing for a 6 year old boy even though I love mine.We do have a limited budget and would need a gig bag as well as strap and tuner.Perhaps an open back concert or soprano would be good idea as there would be no need to project the music far Any suggestions folks or is it a daft idea. I will need a few pennies left in the kitty as my letter to Santa will be for a tenor sized banjo uke for no reason other than I quite fancy the bit longer scale !!
