4-String Banjo, Beige, 23 inches (MI2559-KUS)

A good $100 ukulele.

After looking through a lot of the different banjoleles in Amazon, I finally narrowed down my choice to these Kmise units due to their customer ratings and video uploads. Being on a budget, I went with the Beige finish since it was a little cheaper than the others in the line.When it arrived, the Amazon box had been crushed a little, so I was more than a little nervous about opening package, but the ukulele shipping box within was in perfect shape which put my mind at ease. Like with people, the outside doesn't matter; it's what's inside that counts.Had to loosen the strings quite a bit before the bridge could be set up. The included plastic ruler sped up the process immensely. My SX Tenor banjo didn't come with one so that took a few minutes setting it up. This one was nearly instant once the strings were loosened and the bridge placed correctly beneath them.I had to do a quick search for a youtube video to set up the strap since the ones I've previously used didn't come with the buttons on them.The little clip-on tuner is nice, but I think that I prefer the ukulele tuning app that I have on my phone a little more, but that's just me.Holds it's tune a little better than my tenor banjo; but then just about anything stays in tune longer than a banjo. Not sure why it needed a piezo pickup as banjos do not have an "inside voice." It was a nice addition, though.Thanks again to Kmise and Amazon for this wonderful little addition to my collection. Made for a delightful little birthday present to myself. =)

This is my third Kmise Uke and I have been pleased with them all. Especially considering the price. I wanted a banjolele but as it was going to be a secondary instrument I didn't want to spend a lot on it. My previous experience with Kmise and the fact it was on a flash sale made this one very attractive. The instrument delivered was as expected and nicely done. It played well out of the box. Like all nylon stringed instruments it will take a while before it holds tune well. And you should know that with all floating bridge instruments it may take a bit of fiddling with the bridge to get the intonation right. Kmise includes a nice plastic gauge to help you get the bridge in the right place. But final adjustment will take a bit of fusing with the bridge and your tuner. My other two Kmise Ukes are baritone sized tenors and I play them daily. Once they were tweaked a bit they hold tune nicely and fun to play. Will consider more from this company in the future.

I’m not an expert professional or a performer so I didn’t want to buy a top quality expensive banjolele but I was pleasantly surprised with this one! It feels heavy and sturdy not cheap. The pegs and tuner are plastic but they’re solid and they work. The gold logo is coming off but I’m not mad about it. The strap is a little weird where it clips onto the bottom but it’s ok. The case is nice and sturdy, maybe a little tight but it zips up and protects it. The pick up is probably really cheap but I’ve never had one before so I think it’s really cool! You can use it on any other instruments you have, too (you need an amp for it to work) Using this, you can plug your banjolele into an I-rig and play with distortion ;)All in all, this a is a great sounding little banjolele that I am extremely satisfied with!No problem with shipping either

If you’re looking for an inexpensive banjo ukulele that’s playable, well built, looks good, and is inexpensive, this one is great. Mine stays in tune well. I did adjust the truss rod to lower the action just a little but it was still quite playable without doing it. The gig bag is actually better and has more padding than I expected. The tuner works fine. The pickup works but the adhesive is really strong. It’s difficult to remove once it’s on. The fret edges are a little rough but not too bad. Still deciding if I want to file them or not. Overall I really like this item.
