Banjolele

Hybrid Banjo-ukulele

The Banjolele were designed in the 20th century to offer the small scale, tuning, and playability of a ukulele, but with the distinctive tone of a banjo. The banjo-ukulele, also known as the banjolele or banjo-uke, is a four-stringed musical instrument with a small banjo-type body and a fretted ukulele neck.

The banjo-ukulele was the instrument played by British comedian George Formby (1904-1961), who developed his own style of playing in accompaniment to his comic songs. His name is associated with the instrument more than that of any other musician.
