Frequently Asked Questions
The smaller rim produces a brighter, more focused sound than a full-size banjo; it’s less booming and more articulate.
The wider 35 mm nut width takes a little getting used to if you're accustomed to a ukulele's narrower neck, but it allows for clearer chord voicings.
The included case is a gig bag style case, offering basic protection from dust and minor bumps during transport; it's not a hard-shell case.
