Black Maple Banjo Concert Ukulele with Bag
$429
A fan-favorite from our Americana Series, the Black Maple Banjo Concert Ukulele is patterned after banjoleles from the 1920s and 1930s, when the instrument was at the height of its popularity.
With a twangy tone, mellowed by its nylon strings, this Kala banjolele design is outfitted with a Remo Weatherking® Banjo Head, Maple shell with a Black Matte finish, a floating bridge, and a custom Banjolele gig bag.

- GSGreg S S.Verified ReviewerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 years agoLove the Kala Banjolele, -- Once I got it up to speed.
Excellent workmanship and a quality product. After it arrived, however, I found the action to be incredibly high and the intonation on the first couple frets pulled w-a-y sharp. I took it to a professional, who adjusted the bridge, re-strung, and filed down the nut. The instrument is now a joy to behold. Full, rich sound and an easy transition from a standard uke. Just be sure yours is set up the way you want it.

Really enjoying my new Uke
- RTRichard T.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoImpressive all around
I was fortunate to grab this Banjolele during the Warehouse Sale. The BLEM was very minor with zero effect on the uke's amazing performance. When I brought it to class, my instructor was so excited for it he played it the entire lesson for everyone, exclaiming how it is a "top end banjo uke". He was shocked at the low price I paid for it.

I really like this banjo ukulele. Reminds me of one I had from the 20's, which was hard to keep in tune. This one is easy to play and holds the tuning. Thanks Kala for another amazing instrument at a great price.
