Great product. Love my DUKE10 Banjouke
Reviews
Just 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 buyerI'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.
Ricky F.Verified buyerI Am Very Impressed with the DUKE10 Banjolele. It has a mellow banjo ukulele sound - very easy & fun to play. In fact, 24 people from my band (out of 40) purchased a DUKE10, and every one of them is happy with the uke. It is excellent value. If you're in the market I'd recommend it highly.
Jim U.Verified buyerGreat product! The sound is definitely loud as for a so light instrument, with a large sustain and a beautiful design. Jamie has been really kind and attentive during all the process (even for the shipping). Thank you, good job.
Serenella F.Verified buyerThanks so much for your kind words Serenella, we are thrilled that you love your DUKE10 so much. And thanks for the awesome video, great to hear you playing your new banjo ukulele. Jamie, Owner.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesGreat buy. Firstly the customer support during the process of purchasing the Duke uke was second to none . Through several emails I was kept informed of progress and when the uke arrived there was a small problem with the armrest being a little loose. When informed of this I immediately received a reply and a video showing me how to deal with it. This level of customer support you do not get very often, if ever! Regarding the banjouke, I regard it as great value. I have been playing the uke for nearly forty years and have many ukes and now this uke is one of my favourites. It looks great and is easy to play, true all the way up the neck, with no buzzing. Also you don't need the fingers of Superman to play the Bb chord!
Jim L.Verified buyerThank you Jim, I appreciate your kind words, and am glad that you are so happy with your DUKE10 banjolele. May you enjoy many years of joyful strumming - Jamie, Owner
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesThank you for the DUKE10! The Duke10 is a great instrument to play! Mine arrived on Dec 24th 2018 so it was a very Merry Christmas indeed. My friends also love the look and feel of the Duke10. On a side note: Jamie Houston is prompt in replying to questions regarding the Duke10. Thank you Jamie for making this all happen.
Michael T.Verified buyerThanks Michael - appreciate the 5 star review. Glad you love your DUKE10 so much - Jamie Houston - Owner.
