Kala Natural Mahogany Banjo Concert Ukulele – Twang Meets Ukulele Charm
Bring a touch of Americana into your music with the Kala Natural Mahogany Banjo Concert Ukulele. This playful “banjolele” combines the beloved twang of a banjo with the warm, mellow voice of a concert ukulele, delivering a rustic aesthetic at an approachable price point.
Crafted with a Remo Weatherking® Banjo Head, natural mahogany back and sides, and a floating bridge, this ukulele produces a bright, lively tone softened beautifully by Aquila Super Nylgut® strings. The rosewood fingerboard, maple/ebony capped saddle, and built-in truss rod ensure smooth playability and long-term stability.
Whether you’re performing at a backyard jam, festival stage, or just strumming for fun, the included custom Banjolele Gig Bag keeps your instrument protected and ready to go.
