I had the great misfortune to have my Banjo Ukulele damaged in transit, which apparently is rare, but the responsiveness of the Duke team could not have been better. A replacement was expedited to me and I'm very excited to get started. It is a beautiful instrument and the team behind it really is first class.
Emma M.Verified buyerThanks for your patience and understanding, Emma. Glad you ended up with your DUKE10, and you love it. Really appreciate the 5 stars! :-)
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo Ukuleles - 1 photoA great instrument to play.
I had high expectations for this instrument, and was not disappointed after receiving it this week. I play tenor and baritone ukes and the scale of the Duke is a good fit for me. I quite enjoy the sound and playability of this instrument. It is a welcome addition to my uke family.
Daniel G.Verified buyerThanks for the great photo and 5 star review Daniel. An enviable collection for sure!

Rani H.Thanks so much Rani. Glad you love your DUKE10 so much, and especially that it is getting used in your Music Therapy practice.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo Ukuleles - 1 photo100 years between my banjo-ukuleles, and it keeps all of the good stuff
I started learning ukulele a few years ago, and really enjoyed it. My parents brought me a Sandstrom banjo-ukulele that belonged to my Grandad during the 1920’s/1930’s in San Francisco. While it’s still playable, I found that the friction pegs, and old calfskin made it temperamental (you cant blame it for a 100 year old instrument) and that made it hard to really enjoy, even though I loved the sound. I’ve been thinking about a Duke 10 for a while, and recently pulled the trigger after some great conversations with Jamie (how cool is it to be able to e-mail the owner of a company directly...and he has a great name?). I think the Duke 10’s sound captures the “heart” of my grandad’s banjo-Ike, but even better. The 10” head size gives it more presence and the fret spacing fits my hand much better, not to mention the great design of the geared tuning pegs. While I’ll never get rid of my grandad’s banjo-uke, I think the Duke 10 is just what I wanted. Now they can be banjo-ukulele mates!
Jamie T.Verified buyerJamie, mate! What an awesome story. Loved learning about your Grandad's banjouke, and just love the photo of the two banjo ukuleles together! Thanks for putting your trust in a DUKE10, and I'm thrilled it is just what you expected.

Although delivery to France took a little longer than wished, that was a not unexpected consequence of CV-19. The box was well and securly packaged and when I opened it everything was perfect. Within minutes I had the banjolele set up and tuned. I'm a fairly average player but now looking to build a repertoire of suitable tunes. Best wishes to all at DUKE. Conor
Conor W.Verified buyerThanks for the 5 stars Conor! Glad it is 'perfect' for you.
Jamie Houstonfrom Duke Banjo Ukuleles - Fab-u-lous
Beautiful. Easy to set up (when I found the bridge ;-) ). Added bonus as I didn’t realise it had a pickup! Lovely to play and not too loud like other banjuleles. The details such as the strap. I wouldn’t have had a clue, and the arm shield 10/10!
Angela B.Verified buyerSo thrilled you love it Angela, and glad you found all the 'bonuses'! Thanks for the great review.
