Collection: Banjoleles

Banjoleles (banjo ukuleles) bring together the best of both worlds—the bright, cheerful tones of a ukulele and the crisp, punchy resonance of a banjo. Popularized in the early 20th century, banjoleles are perfect for musicians who love vintage sounds, folk music, and lively rhythmic playing. Their distinctive twang makes them a unique addition to any ukulele player’s collection.

At UKE Universe, we offer a fantastic range of banjoleles in soprano, concert, and tenor sizes, ensuring every player finds the perfect fit. Unlike traditional wooden ukuleles, banjoleles feature a drum-like body with a taut membrane, producing a sharp, percussive sound that stands out in any musical setting.

Crafted from high-quality woods and durable hardware, our banjoleles provide excellent sustain, smooth playability, and vintage charm. Many models include adjustable bridges and resonator backs, allowing players to customize their tone and projection. Whether you're strumming along in a jazz band, playing old-time folk tunes, or adding a vintage flair to modern songs, the banjolele offers endless musical possibilities.
