If you a re looking for a high-end, handcrafted, US made banjo ukulele, look no further.
This Bean Sprout concert scale banjo ukulele was hand built by Aaron Keim during the first iteration of the company, in Broomfield, CO. Aaron went on to build ukes for Mya Moe for some time and has since returned to building under his own Bean Sprout label.
This ukulele is very special in that is in #5 from the original Bean Sprout line. Playing this uke, it is easy to see why Mya Moe was anxious to bring Aaron in to build for them . This uke is has tremendous volume and clarity, with great playability up the neck. A fantastic instrument for strumming or frailing, it is equally at home playing a saucy George Formby number or an American traditional tune from Appalachia.
Maple block constriction rim
1-piece maple neck
Ebony fretboard, headstock overlay and heel cap.
Geared planetary banjo tuners
In 2016 Aaron did a full set up on this uke for me.
I have not played a banjo uke that could best this one, and that includes my vintage Gibson UB-2.
This uke is in excellent condition, as you can see from the photos. When I bought this instrument it it did not have a case and I spent some time tracking down an original Bean Sprout banjo ukulele gig bag, which is shown in one of the photos. This bag is exceptionally well padded. I wish more gig bags were made like this.
$850 + $30 shipping & insurance. PRICE LOWERED!!
