A beautiful range that'll sound brilliant at any pitch. Luna have loaded the Ulu ukulele with an amazing mix of tonewoods that will give you sonic excellence at every frequency. A maple body will bring resonance and sustain, while mahogany tonewood used for the banjolele's neck adds depth and richness in your low end playing. This is completed by a walnut fingerboard, bringing crispness and sharpness in every note. Ideal for high-pitched playing at the top of the scale.
A unique instrument
Made famous by George Formby, the banjolele's bright, distinctive sound has made it a well-loved instrument amongst many established musicians. Even Beatles legend George Harrison was a fan. It allows you to merge the sweet, Hawaiian tones of the ukulele with the cool, bluesy sound of the banjo. Why buy a single instrument when you can get the superb sound of two packed into one?
Perfectly playable
Comfort and ease of playing. You can enjoy the Luna Ulu's fun, individual sound for as long as you like thanks to a comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile. This shape fits snugly into the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp and allowing you to play on for hours on end. Furthermore, the banjolele is tuned in the same way as a standard concert uke, meaning your ukulele skills will be easily transferable to this instrument. You can pick it up and play straight away.
Individual style
An outstanding, eye-catching aesthetic. This is a beautiful instrument that'll grab the attention of anyone who sees you playing it. Inspired by Hawaiian patchwork quilts, the Ulu features an elegant breadfruit design laser-etched on the back of the banjolele. This intricate graphic will look beautiful in any situation.
