Concert scale
Longer than soprano, so frets are less cramped and string tension is a little firmer under the fingers.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A concert-scale banjo ukulele with a maple neck and ebony fingerboard, plus a gig bag. For ukulele players who want banjo attack and volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Ukulele players who need more cut in a group or on stage
- Vaudeville, trad-jazz and old-time chord rhythm
- Anyone wanting banjo tone without learning five-string technique
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the soft, woody warmth of a wooden ukulele
- Anyone after a real banjo; this is uke-scale with four strings
- Quiet home practice, since banjo heads are loud and sharp
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Banjo body with a drumhead
Sharp attack and fast decay instead of a wooden uke's sustain. Much louder in a room.
Detail 03
Maple neck
Dense and stiff. Adds brightness and holds its shape better than softer neck woods.
Detail 04
Ebony fingerboard
Hard and smooth under bends and slides. Wears slower than softer fingerboard woods.
Detail 05
Gig bag included
You can transport it on day one without buying a case separately.
Detail 06
$749.99 tier
Upper end for a banjolele. You are paying for the appointments and hardware, not just the format.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Tuning is standard ukulele, so uke chord shapes transfer directly
- 02The head is a drum skin and its tension shifts with humidity
- 03Bridge sits loose under string tension and must be positioned for correct intonation
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is it tuned like a ukulele or a banjo?
Like a ukulele. Your existing uke chord shapes and fingerings carry over directly; only the tone and volume change.
02How loud is it compared to a regular ukulele?
Considerably louder. The drumhead projects far more than a wooden soundboard, which is the main reason players choose a banjolele for group settings.
03Does it come with a case?
It ships with a gig bag. That covers transport and light protection, though it is not a hard case.
04What is concert scale?
A size between soprano and tenor. Fret spacing is roomier than soprano, which suits larger hands, and the tone is slightly fuller.
