New owner of banjolele

OneToughQuaker · Feb 14, 2020

I’m getting this old banjolele from my buddy Tuesday. I don’t know a lot about it yet. Concertone 7in head probably made by slingerland in the 20s. Missing pins head is busted. Eh it’s free to me.

Thought someone here may be excited.

Nice banjolele. Much better sound than any of the modern brands.

Welcome OneToughQuaker!

I have never heard a banjolele (or a banjo) live, only on recordings and Youtube. I am not really a fan of how they sound. Maybe I just don't know what style of music and playing I would try out on one myself.
So, looking forward to learning about the instrument and its possibilities.

Congrats! Old banjoukes are very cool. They have a tone that can't be mimicked by new ones.
There are two banjouke groups here you might enjoy.

No doubt you'll have a lot of fun with that! I've got a similar banjo uke of the same vintage. Welcome and God bless!
