Banjo Ukulele!
Banjo Ukulele!
The banjo ukulele, banjo uke, ukulele banjo or banjolele, is an instrument hybrid consisting of a banjo body (usually of the 4 string variety) with a ukulele neck!
It was used in both a novelty and professional sense most commonly in the early 1920's and 1930's when early theatre and travelling performers needed the convenience of a ukulele, with the volume and control of a banjo!
A dixie model was also made, using mainly metal materials rather than the more common wooden styles.
George Formby popularised the banjolele both in a musical and comedic way in the earlier 20th century, with a range of popular musicians following with including the instrument in there recordings!
Now that you have the information side down, here's a great place on where to start with learning the music side of things!
