Gold Tone BU Banjo-Ukulele

Gold Tone BU: Scale Banjo Ukulele with Case

Crafted by Gold Tone’s skilled luthiers, the Gold Tone BU Scale Banjo Ukulele blends the charm of a traditional ukulele with the projection and clarity of a banjo. Built with precision using a multi-ply maple rim, smooth maple neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard, it delivers authentic craftsmanship and long-lasting performance. Its vintage brown satin finish adds a warm, timeless aesthetic inspired by classic folk instruments.

The BU’s tone is lively, crisp, and resonant — a perfect balance between the mellow sweetness of a ukulele and the snappy brightness of a banjo. The 8-inch maple-rimmed pot and Remo MC Smooth head produce a clean, articulate sound that cuts through ensembles while retaining warm character. Over time, the maple body and rosewood fingerboard open up sonically, offering richer tonal depth and sustain with continued play.

Ideal for ukulele players, folk musicians, and performers who want to expand their sound palette, the Gold Tone BU is lightweight, expressive, and built to perform on stage or in studio settings. Its precision setup, geared tuners, and quality materials make it an exceptional instrument for both developing players and professionals looking for dependable tonal versatility.
