Having fun playing this banjolele! Love it! Wish there was a hard case available for it. Having trouble finding one.

Pretty damn great banjo uke! Strong contender uke. Love it, however hate that case! This is now my primary instrument. The pickup for amplification is a very nice feature. I am very happy with her. Oh she need some better instruction on bridge and setting the leg tension. Holds a tune fine. Frets are very comfortable. This Banjolele is the very best for the money.
Debra W.Verified buyerHi Debra - thrilled you love your DUKE10 so much. The gig bag is certainly unique! Most people love it! :-) And just in case you missed the link we supplied on the instruction sheet that came with your DUKE10, go here for very detailed setup instructions on the bridge: https://www.dukeuke.com/pages/setup The drum head does not require any setup as it is set to where we think is the best tension for optimal sound, but there are instructions about the difference it can make by tightening or loosening it on the sheet you already have. Hope that helps. Jamie Houston - Owner.

Greetings from NL to NZL. I am very pleased with the Duke10. Easy to play and sounds the way I like it. A good mix between banjo and ukulele and sounds good too with clawhammer style. Thank you also for the fast delivery (it took only 12 days to the Netherlands).

A very nice banjo uke. Quick delivery. The Duke10 plays very well, love the sound. The pick up works fine. If you play it over a PA the Duke10 sound great. Very natural. I play in a band and it's nice to have a new sound on it.
Joost K.Verified buyer Great product. Love my DUKE10 Banjouke
Bruce B.Verified buyerJust arrived and I LOVE IT! Jamie, I love it! It is totally above my expectations! If I had enough money I would buy another one in case I lose the first one. I have a Spanish flamenco guitar which cost me a lot more than your banjolele but the tuners are far superior on your banjolele. In fact they are beautiful and the build is above all expectations. No glue runs, no orange-peeling on the paint job, so thanks again - Brian.
Brian S.Verified buyerDuke10 - Very nice product - a solid piece. Arm rest is a nice feature you don't find on other banjoleles, has a good action on it and setup was pretty easy.
Ryan M.Verified buyerThanks Ryan - really glad you like your DUKE10 - thanks for the 5 Star Review. Jamie Houston - Owner
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesI'm Happy with my DUKE10 Tenor Banjo Ukulele. I'm having a pretty good time with the Duke10. Tightening the head helped to give the upper register some better clarity, but I'm still fiddling around looking for more. The arm rest was loose on arrival but ended up adding a locking nut on top of the rim nut - that should be a permanent fix.
Ron S.Verified buyerThanks for your review Ron, much appreciated. As we have previously discussed via email, the armrest coming loose was unfortunate, and we have addressed the issue to ensure to doesn't happen again. And glad you have had some fun playing around with the head tension :-) Jamie - Owner

I love the DUKE10 Banjo Ukulele and I give it a (close) 5 Stars. The set up is great and it plays very well. The tenor neck gives more room for my fingers. The only limitation is my ability as I have not played a Banjo Ukulele before, but I can see the possibilities. We are part of a ukulele group 'Rukes' consisting of a Uke-bass, Duke10 and about 10 Ukes. We play and sing anything - folk, country, Church, and popular songs of the last 60 years. I have started using the Duke10 as a lead instrument picking out the tune, mostly within the strum, using a soft flat pick. The greater volume enables me to be heard above the other ukuleles. I am still developing this technique but am very pleased with the way it is going.
Pat D.Verified buyerHi Pat - thanks so much for your 5 Star Review! We appreciate that it was carefully considered, and thanks for the pic! All the best, Jamie Houston - Owner.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo Ukuleles The DUKE10 - A Good Banjo Uke! Good sound. The neck and fretboard made it easy and smooth to play. One of the few banjoleles with an armrest. Has good volume but if that's not enough for you, it comes with a nice pickup.
