I 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.
Reviews
Great 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 buyerGreat 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.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesGreat Instrument, great price. I'm extremely pleased with the Duke banjolele. It is a fun instrument to play and a big hit with my fellow ukulele players. Set up was easy and I was playing shortly after opening the box. A couple of comments. The G string kept popping out of the bridge slot initially. This could have been because I strum harder than average. I took a file and deepened the slot slightly with no further issues. The neck feels bigger (deeper?) than my other ukuleles. This may affect people with smaller hands. In short, it is everything duke claims and I would recommend it to anyone.
Jeffrey S.Verified buyerThanks for your review Jeffrey, your feedback is important for us to continue improving our products and processes. Sorry that you had issues with the bridge and the string popping out. Playing in a heavier manner can cause this as you suggest, but good on you for working out a fix! I will look into it and ensure that in future the bridge has slots that are deep enough to (hopefully) avoid any further issues. May you enjoy many years of playing your DUKE10 - Jamie Houston - Owner.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesThe DUKE10 - A perfect alternative to just having a ukulele. I was convinced by a friend of mine to purchase the Duke10 Banjolele. I already had a Concert Ukulele and I thought it would be nice to have another instrument to give a different sound. My word, it really gives a magic sound which suits so many of the old favorite tunes, a perfect alternative to just having a Ukulele. Do yourself a favor and get a Duke10 - it is a fabulous instrument for the price!
Mike G.Verified buyerMy beautiful banjo uke. The DUKE10 Banjolele has a beautiful tone. I absolutely love that it is the same strings as the Uke. The size is perfect. The only thing, I wish there was a way to attach the strap properly. It was absolutely a wonderful choice for me.
Darlene S.Verified buyerHi Darlene, glad you love the DUKE10 so much. The strap hooks do attach to the tension rods but we agree, they are a little large, so we are working on a way to make it better. Thanks for your feedback - Jamie, Owner of Duke Banjo Ukuleles.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesDUKE10 - Highly Recommended. I was really excited to receive my Duke10 Tenor Banjo Ukulele. It is great to play and with the electric pickup it is even better. I am very happy and would highly recommend the Duke10 to anyone considering adding a banjolele to their collection.
Ann K.Verified buyerAnn, I am so thrilled that you and two of your friends ended up all getting DUKE10's at the same time - let's keep it going! :-) Thanks for the great review - keep on uke-in! - Jamie Houston - Owner.

Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo UkulelesRecommend the Duke10. I particularly like the tone and the weight of the Duke10. I was looking for a tenor with an electric pickup and liked the sleek look of the Duke10. Very happy with this instrument. And great service from the moment I placed the order through to it's speedy delivery. Thank you.
