Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s BUS is a soprano-scale banjo ukulele with a 13.5 inch scale length and standard GCEA tuning. Its maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, geared tuners, single adjustable coordinator rod, and plate-style resonator define the instrument’s build. The Vintage Brown finish gives it a traditional presentation, and a hardshell case is included for carrying and storage. If you use another tuning, the string gauge needs to match that tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a soprano-scale banjo ukulele in standard GCEA tuning.

- Setting up alternative tunings with an appropriate string gauge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require a scale length other than 13.5 inches.
