Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s BU-1 combines concert-scale ukulele format with an open-back banjo-uke design. Its factory-installed pickup gives you a direct route to amplification, while the 8-inch maple pot and genuine Remo Fiberskyn head form the instrument’s banjo-style assembly. A hard maple neck, Zero Glide nut, and vintage-style tailpiece round out the build. The left-handed, 18-fret BU-1 arrives with a padded gig bag for carrying it between playing commitments.
Strong match
