Received this as a Valentines present from my wife. I am delighted with the looks, finish, and really impressed with the light weight. I'm not used to the Aquila strings and may end up trying Worth Brown like I use on my other ukes. I'll update if the difference in strings makes a noticeable difference. By the way, Jamie could not have been nicer or more professional throughout the process. It is so nice to experience good communication!!!

Lansdale, United StatesThanks so much for your wonderful feedback David. Please do let me know how you get on with the Worth Brown strings. I'm always interested in checking out different options. Appreciate the 5 Stars!
- Highly recommend
I’m over the moon with my Duke 10. Having never played a banjo ukulele before I didn’t know what to expect. Right from the off I was blown away by how loud it is! It has a really beautiful banjo twang and is as easy to play as any ukulele I’ve ever owned. 10/10 would recommend. A quick note on the company itself: I’m really impressed by Jamie’s commitment to customer satisfaction. Having spoken with him personally on the phone I can say his dedication to doing a good job is second to none.

- Yea for Banjos by the Bay!
The bright sound of my new Duke 10 banjolele is a wonderful improvement over the small banjo ukulele I was using. I have my Banjos by the Bay band leader, Michael, to thank for encouraging me to make this step up!

My Duke 10 and tweed case arrived...beautiful! I was very impressed with the build quality and the sound, but the playability was the BEST for any instrument I have bought. The action (string height) was perfect, and that is so rare for a factory instrumemt...especially at the nut end. Nicely done! Photos included with all the cool case candy. By the way, I set the bridge position by making harmonics at the 12th fret...giving about the most accurate result and the bridge slightly canted as shown.
Christopher C.Verified buyerElmhurst, United StatesChris, I am thrilled that you are so happy with your DUKE10, and that you have taken the time and effort to leave a review (5 stars, no less!). Thank you, it is much appreciated, and will help others to understand more about the DUKE10.
1 videoThis is just so playable and fun.It's an awesome Uke.The set up is perfect.It's a real head turner. It's loud but has a more mellow tone with good sustain. I did break one of the little beads through over zelous impatient string stretching. I know it comes with spare beads but they are a bit flimsy. I just put a knot in it and had no more problems. Keep it simple. Very happy customer. See attched unboxing video.

- I’d buy it again!
I am extremely happy with my Duke 10 banjolele! I prefer its tenor size compared to the concert size of my other banjolele. I particularly like the tone of the Duke: it’s rich and not the least bit brittle. (Someone who wanted a brighter tone could tighten the membrane.) Another winning trait for me is the touch—not too tight and not too relaxed. The weight of the instrument is wonderful. It’s made solidly, but it’s not heavy. I haven’t tried amplifying it, so I can’t address that. I had a little bit of buyer’s remorse after ordering my Duke 10, because my other banjolele is of very high quality, and I thought maybe I was being too self-indulgent. That remorse is completely gone. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
Gary M.Verified buyerSan Diego, United StatesGoodness, you certainly love your new DUKE10 Gary! Really happy to hear it, and very grateful for your positive feedback and 5 star review :-)
- I fell in love the minute I first played it!
I'm in love with my DUKE 10. It's easy to play, and I'm enjoying learning the many strumming banjo techniques online. And, oh that tweed case is a humdinger: So beautiful and will keep my banjolele safe from harm.
Dorell M.Verified buyerPowell River, CanadaYou are very kind Dorell. Thrilled you love your DUKE10 and tweed case so much, and really appreciate the 5 Stars :-)
Thanks Kelly, so appreciate your feedback and for all your help and encouragement behind the scenes. Really excited for the future!
