I agree, they are very cool things. They have the resonation and ring of a banjo, but the sound of a ukulele. You should definitely play one, if possible.I've seen one, but haven't played one. I think they're cool.
It's amazing how many variations there used to be on banjos and mandolins. At the turn of the last century there were mandolin orchestras and they had huge bass mandos.
I'm just looking for any general info, and opinions.Are you looking for playing info, value info or just general info on it's make, quality and age?
If any of you guys want to see some pictures of my ukulele-banjo, just let me know via this forum. I'll be more than happy to upload a few pics.
No, it doesn't. I don't know what you want pictures of, or who is going to upload them.

And his rendition of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ on Walking Up Raintree album … stunning. Think he was only 16 or 17 at the time.Know nothing about Banj-Ukes, but check out Jake Shimakabura on youtube for an awesome Bohemian Rhapsody rendition.
Are the strings tuned like a regular Uke?No, it doesn't. I don't know what you want pictures of, or who is going to upload them.
